Hello! I had a similar experience. I interviewed on Tuesday with training principal Will Pearce, Corporate partner Dan and associate Sophie. Like Cortana I was asked to compare and contrast the firms I applied to and the reasons for applying to each firm.The interview with Will was very chill. Feels like he genuinely just wants to get to know you. The interview with Dan was slightly more challenging. It was indeed thought provoking. There were some questions surrounding commercial awareness themes. I was asked about my opinion on what the lawyers should have done regarding a recent IPO that had gone sideways and why that happened. I wasn't asked about my motivations for applying to Davis Polk until the final associate interview.As an international student I was quizzed on my motivations for wanting to train in the UK.
