[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 48322, member: 5063"] Yeah personally I found there was a lot of overlap- it wouldn't be the first time that I personally more or less answered both questions together, as my approach was always to link each individual point back to the firm I was at at that time. As long as you frame your responses and examples appropriately and make sure that, first and foremost, you're absolutely nailing the question you're being asked, I would tend to say you should be fine. In my experience, if the interviewer felt that from my answer they also had enough info that they'd normally obtain from another answer, they'd typically just say something like "well normally I'd ask you about X, but I feel you've already covered that enough so we'll move onto the next topic...". Similarly, if they don't, they'll just go ahead and ask the next question anyway. To that end, I would make sure you've got a clear framework for both rather than going out your way to cram this into one as it will also often depend on the interviewer's style (eg, they might just let you sit and talk or they might be more conversational and ask follow up or secondary questions which lead to a more extended overall answer covering multiple bases).
