    Slaughter and May VS 2021/TC 2023 application

    Will do! What type of advice did you have to provide? On other posts, it appears there is a trend i.e. the firm asks you to advice on business growth strategies - was this the case for you? My interview is next week. I'm just so worried about the whole process with S&M as there doesn't seem to...

    Slaughter and May VS 2021/TC 2023 application

    Hey! Thanks for that, Samantha - I hope you hear back with a positive outcome. Do you have any advice regarding the written exercise? It takes me a while to read and digest info, so I'm a little worried that I'll be pressed for time.

    Slaughter and May VS 2021/TC 2023 application

    I'm so sorry @jasonweee; I promise I didn't mean for it to come across negatively. I do have one upcoming, and I'm feeling full of anxiety and panic. The majority of people I've spoken to say they grill you. The fact that a candidate missed out on an offer because places are almost filled up...

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    I think you may have misunderstood the OP - OP stated that TC interviews for the winter vac schemers are being held this week. Therefore, those that applied for the spring / summer vac scheme should hear back soon.

    Linklaters 2019/20 Application

    I got 32/40 - looks unlikely that I'll get through. Fingers crossed though, not quite sure how much weight they put onto the WG test. Someone mentioned they had got a very high score and was still rejected.

    Hey guys, does anyone know if the 3 tests are equally weighted? I got my feedback report, having completed the test, and I scored very high, and reasonably high, for all the skills/capabilities tested. Not sure how well I did on the VR test though.

    M&A - Investment Bankers v Lawyers

    Hi guys, I've been thinking about the type of questions that I could be asked at an interview, and one that struck me was about the different type of professionals involved in an M&A transaction. For example, what would a lawyer do that is different from an investment banker or consultant? In...
