[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 48838, member: 5063"] Hi Nina, Great question! This can often be somewhat intimidating as you want to balance ambition etc with not seeming presumptuous etc. I would tend to say that the overarching thing here is that your answer has to be authentic, so it should be based genuinely on what your ambitions are. In terms of mentioning types of seats etc, again it's a bit of a personal thing. One thing to be absolutely sure of, whatever the firm, is that they have a practice area in that seat- I would also tend to advise making sure these are aligned with the firm's focus (i.e. if they're a massive private equity firm then you probably wouldn't want to talk too much about litigation if they only have a small litigation practice). Personally, I was always very truthful in this answer: My gut instinct is that I'm more interested in transactional work (maybe with a private equity focus) but I'm generally open-minded and wouldn't shut any doors.
