Hey man - had my interview with them already! At least for me, it was very relaxed! The impression I got was that they felt that commercial awareness/technicals were a given so were more interested in understanding if they'd like to work with me. Wouldn't worry too much (without being overly complacent), and congrats on your interview!

Hi! I know I am writing in quite a while after your message - but I was wondering if you had any idea if S&C offers most of its TCs to its vacation schemers or if they also take people through the direct training contract application process?

I am trying to plan out what direct TC applications I should send this summer and whether I should apply to Sullivan & Cromwell for a direct TC. Thanks so much!
