[QUOTE="aniraz, post: 168831, member: 25278"] Agree with everything you've said. I also did a VS with Slaughters and it was a very interesting experience... over half of the cohort were Oxbridge (which was funny because they made a massive deal about how they don't care what university you go to) and friends on the scheme experienced being left out/basically ignored in conversations because everyone else were talking about colleges etc We also had a talk from someone very senior, white and male, in the firm who talked about how there was no hierearchy because he was called into a partner's office and asked to join the company jazz band (I think the irony of this was lost on him..) The scheme was also during social mobility month which Slaughters made a MASSIVE deal out of. However most socially mobile vac schemers were not offered a TC (same with most of the ethnic minority vac schemers). I also asked during the D&I talk why the firm chose not to do university-blind recruiting and they gave some confusing excuses and said about how things have improved a lot, I was thinking erm a team at Slaughters literally stays at an Oxford college every year but ok This isn't even everything that happened lol but Slaughters was an interesting experience...
