    Hi could anyone give me insight into which Slaughters TC vs VS process so I know which I should apply for? Basically, it states on their website about their TC's: - 'Applications for..... will open on Friday 1 September 2023 and will close on Thursday 30 November 2023 at 11:59pm.' then it says...

    Can anyone tell me if Latham’s video interview part of the SJT gives you time to see the question and record the response later? Also it is a one-take kind of thing?

    I think it depends on the year. I once had a lower score (78) and got through but another time I got 90 and didnt. Anything above 75+ should be fine i think.

    Honestly I don’t think this is a bad sign at all. I’d sleep well knowing I got that and no one else did :)

    Im not sure on this. I took their test 2-3 years ago and it only contained the staged trainee video portion (the ones that took the test will get what I mean) and if you didn’t pass that test it meant none of your application was looked at. Automated rejection. But hopefully they changed to a...

    Derivatives / structured finance practice area help

    Hi I thanks for this from what I know about structuring/derivatives, not all do complex structures and mainly stick to generic ones.
