Congratulations !!!DACB ac London office![]()
what does this mean? Meaning if we did not hear by march, its a PFO?Last time I’ll ask, anyone heard Sidley Austin summer? Just wondering if the March deadline they gave is a PFO
I applied on the deadline and took the test on the 18th of Feb!Congratulations !!!do you mind me asking when you applied/took the test?
Does anyone have any advice ?
I have an upcoming DTC interview with slaughters.
I also have 3 vac schemes, all with US firms with smaller cohorts.
As part of the interview they ask about application strategy?
- Shall I not mention them and say different firms I applied for but then it seems like I have had an unsuccessful season if they ask how I have got on (such as macfarlances , linklaters, etc)
- one of the VS is with a US firm focused on corporate work, and have a trainee intake of about 25. I could mention them for similar work but again training is v different.
- mention all the vac schemes and be totally honest about strategy- wanted firms where I will get to work on high calibre corporate work and firms that I’ve met.
I think the schemes will make me seem like a stronger candidate but also I worry they will not think I WANT slaughters enough because of them.
Also in the event they were to offer me a TC, does anyone know if they extend- I really want to do the schemes and I don’t know what I would pick honestly.
Yeah probably I thinkwhat does this mean? Meaning if we did not hear by march, its a PFO?
I think it really comes down to weighing your priorities and considering which firm is the better fit for you long-term. Have you taken the time to compare both firms in terms of culture, practice areas, training opportunities, and overall career trajectory?hello @Andrei Radu @Amma Usman
i have an ac scheduled on 12th march but the dates of this scheme clash with the dates of a vac scheme offer i have already accepted. is there any point in going through the prep and doing the ac?
Email the original firm politely and say you have to withdraw from the scheme, then accept the second one.Hi, I was wondering if you sign a vacation scheme offer what then happens if you lter get a clashing scheme you would rather do instead ?
