    Just off an a bit of a tangent, do you know if Slaughters has released the dates for its vacation scheme and what they are? Just wondering how it clashes.

    Frankly, I don’t think they’d rescind an AC invite over not sending a headshot in time, but I guess with firms you’re really never sure. I personally wouldn’t worry too much about it though, and just try not to miss any other deadlines pre-TC😭

    Is anyone yet to hear back from Hogan Lovells SVS post WG? Just wondering if it’s time to assume PFO as people are starting to receive offers?

    Congratulations! Can I please ask if this is for the summer vac scheme or direct TC? If it is for the VS, when did you do the watson glaser?

    I don’t think you should assume that. I applied spring and I just got an AC invite, so it might still take a bit before they start to send out invites for summer.
