    Slaughter and May TC Interview

    Hi Romiras, Really well done for your performance, you must have smashed the interview - I was just wondering if I could get your thoughts on the offer process. Do they always give positive offers out early? (for example, the day after or a few days after) then leave the rejections much later...

    Slaughter and May TC Interview

    I believe, according to my calculations and depending on the amount of students who were made offers post vac scheme, it ranges between 1/6 and 1/8 chance of an offer.

    **OPINION PLEASE** Last week I attended an assessment centre with CMS. They told us we would be in touch “tomorrow” or “Friday at the latest”. Everyone I have spoken to has already received offers. I haven’t received any contact at all, not even a rejection email. What do you guys think?

    'Tell us about a topic you know' question

    To clarify, I didn’t mean to explain how the “topic” is somehow related to the firms’ practice. But you should explain why the topic is relevant and why the firm should be interested. E.g. being a poker player - good for negotiation, working under pressure etc.

    @Jaysen can I get your opinion please I still haven't heard anything from HSF. I passed the online assessment, but have not been contacted about AC yet? The winter vac scheme starts on the 3rd December, surely there is no chance they will ask me to come for AC now? What do you think...

    'Tell us about a topic you know' question

    Spoke with HSF Grad Rec about this question. It might seem like you have a lot of freedom to talk about anything you want, but actually it is very important that you somehow relate it back to the firm. So talking about your interest in Love Island is probably a bad choice. I would stick to a...
