Slaughter and May VS 2021/TC 2023 application
- Thread starter @k
- Start date
ahhhh, I remember the people that applied for the winter scheme waiting for a very long time. I think even up until a week before the scheme.
Good luck for all applying. Slaughters is a great firm. If you do get on the scheme, make sure you don't get taken in by the graduate recruitment spiel. Make sure you could really see yourself working somewhere with a culture like Slaughters. If you do, then that's wonderful!
Another point to make, is that the firm will make a big play about how you should pick them over US/magic circle/more elite firms, because they do interesting work and have a better work life balance. Yes they do interesting work, but there are so many trainees you may not get to do anything on those cases. Secondly, the working hours are no better than other firms that pay £120/130/140k NQ.
As with all recruiting events. Take everything with a pinch of salt, and check out other options before making your decisions .

has anyone heard back from 2023 direct TC law?
Anyone heard anything recently re direct TC? 🙃
Well done on your interview I am sure you smashed it. How did you find the interview and what sort of questions did they ask you?
anyone still waiting for Direct TC non-law?
Usually means you're successful! I did the VS interview last year and referees were never contacted, and I was unsuccessful, while they contacted the referees of my friend and she got it. Best of luck!
Sorry to hear
Can i ask if this is post interview or post app stage? Anyone else who still has not heard back post interview?
