I think they mean applying, that giving a job with such a high salary to someone who has done a vac scheme and worked for a few weeks versus to someone who you have never engaged within a working environment. Basically more likely to get American firm tc from a vac scheme as opposed to direct tc.

Could I ask which office you applied to? Trying to work out if they’re handing them out in batches or to assume PFOtrowers and hamlins AC but not in the country for it
Has anyone reached the interview stage for Slaughter? If so, what type of questions and articles have they used. I haven’t heard back from them about my application. Can feel a rejection from a mile away.
U get asked a lot about your grades, modules etc. and about your CV generally.

Grade-obsessed firm with weird interviewing Partners. I am autistic and still struggled. Best of luck to you though.
And yeah, I did do one with them for the summer. Wasnt successful presumably because I did poorly on the article discussion. I was asked about my grades quite a lot so I'd prep answers and preempt those sort of questions.
Yh I did notice that with how much they emphasised it within their application. They did state “a good 2:1” which can be very subjective depending on who you ask.
Nope, please could you share the response if they get back to you?
Oh I'm so sorry to hear that, I hope you're having better luck elsewhere!
May I ask if this was post-AC for you?
