It is a common interview question, but you aren’t expected to name the actual firms. They are looking for consistency, but since firms aren’t all exactly the same you don’t need to go into extensive detail of what similarities and differences there are, as long as you can name some common...- Bread

I don’t see how the fact that other firms don’t make being a global powerhouse a strong reason to apply should affect your motivations to applying to one that does. If you want to talk about other firms (even though it is unlikely that you will specifically be requested to do so), then it’s...- Bread

I think amberjack is more transparent when it comes to this. Capp just shows your highest and lowest ranking strengths, but it doesn’t actually tell you how well you did in those strengths, so imo it’s pointless to stress about which ones your feedback report returns- Bread

I would imagine that this Q is asking for you to share specific qualities of the firm's that appealed to you so that the answer reads as more tailored. I highly doubt they want to restrict you to writing however many words on just one specific eureka moment 😅 Though ofc, if you have attended an...- Bread

It depends, for instance in the A&O one you can take a short break between SJT and VI but you can't like close the tab or anything, it's more of like a toilet/snack break- Bread

I honestly don't see the point of reapplying to the open day if you've already attended, it's not like the firm will have changed much since last year, meaning that you will draw minimum benefit from attending. However if you do want to reapply, I would definitely avoid mentioning that you...- Bread

This is incredibly frustrating, particularly with firms that ask for cover letters and loads of application questions. I wish they would make you do the test first, then send you the application questions because it feels like such a waste of time, especially when you get no feedback on your WG...- Bread
