It actually sounds like you handled both questions much better than you think.For the two deals question, interviewers know that it’s tough to memorise all the things a firm has done recently, especially under pressure. The fact that you could name one deal and pivot to something that is still relevant (i.e. the new initiative) shows quick thinking and knowledge of the firm - that is still a strong recovery, and much better than simply saying nothing!As for the ‘why not your current / previous firms’ question, I would try not to worry too much. You were honest and professional in your answer - you didn’t badmouth anyone (which would’ve been a red flag), and your reasoning shows you’ve thought carefully about your options and the training route that suits you best. Firms aren’t expecting perfection - they’re looking for reflection and authenticity, which I think you showed.Overall, it sounds like you made a positive impression! I know how easy it can be to spiral about these things after an interview, but try to take it as a learning experience for next time. I’m sure you’ve done better than you think - fingers crossed for good news! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
