Bit of a dilemma! I got a tc offer this week which I am absolutely over the moon to have received! I have another 5 days to accept. I have been invited to an AC at another firm in a couple of weeks - I really want to go to explore my options as the firm I’m currently holding an offer for doesn’t pay SQE fees. How do I go about navigating this?? Would be really grateful for advice

Accept and then renege if required. If you are not receiving any financial support from the firm, you are technically not tied to them until you start your TC.
Has anyone heard back from Stephenson Harwood post video interview? Or know when we can be expected to hear back! Thank you
Does anyone know when BCLP starts reviewing applications for its direct TC? The application window is 9 months long - it opened at the beginning of September and closes in May of next year. So I'm wondering if anyone knows whether they start reviewing the applications and conducting ACs as soon as some apps come in or wait till like midway through the application window?
This year I applied in May but still got through. I don't really think they review on a rolling basis as almost nobody on the forum heard before the deadline.
Hi! When did you hear back from them and when did they hold AC? Thanks.
Yes. I had two vac schemes this year. For my spring VS, I took unpaid leave. For my summer VS, I used annual leave for one week and unpaid leave for the final two weeks.
Anyone heard back from Slaughters post app?
Could anyone please confirm if HSF have opened a Direct TC route? It's coming as a separate deadline on Legal Cheek. Plus, they have a separate webpage on their website: https://careers.herbertsmithfreehil...023&utm_term=1x1&utm_content=TrainingContract

Thanks for your response, Jessica. https://www.legalcheek.com/firm/herbert-smith-freehills/ Don't know why they have a separate deadline for the TC.

I would contact them to ask when it will go live - there might just be a reason why applications are delayed
Still waiting! I think it’s clear that it is a rejection, so not sure what’s happening! Maybe they forgot to update us
They have interviews over the next couple of days and then they said they will be holding ACs after that, possibly next week.
I had my interview on Friday too. I was told we would know in around a week to 10 days,
