    It feels slightly surreal to write this, but I just got a direct TC offer from my dream firm!

    I'm honestly so excited- as international student from a fairly unusual background, I have applied for almost three years without any success: I've never had a vacation scheme or even a formal legal internship. Before this month, I had never even made it to the interview stage. I had to complete my first AC in the middle of the night because of time differences, and ended up sitting in the lobby of a nearby hotel when my wifi died just an hour before the assessment began!

    Thank you so much to everyone on this forum for all the advice and the ongoing encouragement whenever I started doubting myself! This truly would have been impossible without you all (as well as the TCLA team)😊

    On to the next adventure!

    I'm delighted to read this - I have been rooting for you for some time to get that TC. Well done!

    Ugh trying to remain positive about Freshfield AC for Direct TC but I know some invites have already been sent out, and the AC's begin on the the 9th of August. Should I give up hope or is there a chance they could send early next week, with only a weeks notice before AC? :(

    They will have a lot of final round stages to get through giving their hiring numbers. If anything it’s still early in the process.

    Does anyone have any info on Myersons? Totally out of the blue that I discovered them through a recruiter of the firm connecting with me on LI. They’re based near Manchester and have a sector that I want to specialise in, & still taking applications for 2023 TC’s. I’m having a chat on Monday with the recruiter, but if anyone has been through the process with them I’d love to know more! They seem like literally the perfect firm. TIA x
