    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    I am sorry to hear this - and I'd understand why you'd feel self doubt after being rejected post interview. It's a lot to go through the process, meet the firm, get your hopes high, and then get rejected. I would say that if you were able to reach the final stage TC interview, I'd trust that...
