TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

Out of interest - how do people remain concentrated/switched on throughout an assessment day?

Reflecting back on my recent post-ACs, I felt I lacked energy and my concentration levels were low towards the end of the second half of the day. For my Slaughters interview, my mind was elsewhere when the partner was speaking to me, and I was dazed out.

Any tips to overcome this? Anyone faced a similar situation? I want to avoid this for future AC's.

I’ve had a pfo since then. With Slaughters I honestly think if you haven’t heard back, they haven’t got to your application. They let you know the outcome when they can, so I’d say you shouldn’t give up hope!

Cleary TC is non-rolling, pretty sure BM say they’re rolling but I feel like they aren’t really compared to other rolling firms. Last year most people heard after the deadline, I applied day before deadline and got through to the VI

Anyone who did Dechert's VI and/or written exercise I'd be grateful for any tips. Even more general case study resources as it's my first time doing one!

Just did the Hogan lovells WG. Found a lot of questions from the CC WG. Anyone else with a similar experience?

It wasn’t last year, but they have a SJT instead of WG this year so it could be different now

Aw that's really kind of you - thanks! I applied on the day of the deadline (very typical of me!).

For those that got the WG on the 29th, is our deadline today or tomorrow? And what time?

Idk but I think it should be completed before midnight. That's what I felt and completed today because the email said "within seven days". So, ig before Monday as Monday is the 7th day.

 

[Shreya Verma]

For HL WG, when can we expect to get an outcome?

Did they change the WG? It says on their website that we’d be invited to an online test. Doesn’t specify what type of test.
