    Training Contract Applications

    Yep that's what it sounds like. I'm not sure if that's new? I also didn't realise Davis Polk had such a small intake.

    Hearing Back from Firms + AC & Interview Tips Share - 2018 - 2019

    Good shout on making a note of the questions! I always used to forget doing this but you'd be surprised by how common it is for similar questions to come up in future interviews.

    Sorry to hear Hazal, are you able to get feedback? And yes, definitely worth confirming as that's a little strange.

    Weekly Commercial Awareness Thread

    I suggest students read about the current tech sell-off: https://news.sky.com/story/wall-street-sees-renewed-sell-off-amid-tech-worries-11558829 It has come up in the news enough this year that it could be asked at interview.

    Which Law firms do not recruit heavily from Vac Schemes?

    OK good you have plenty for a direct TC application. Then it's just preference really. TC interviews tend to be tough, as I'm sure you know. I'd take a look at your strengths - some people are "better" at interviews and some people need more time to open up/sell themselves.

    Why Private Equity?

    No they won't be too technical or mathematical. If you're applying to PE-focused firms, you should be able to explain what private equity is and the basics of what private equity firms do. They may push you more if you demonstrate a good basic understanding of private equity but that's about it.
