It’s clearly well thought through and shows genuine motivation.A few gentle points that may help explain why it didn’t convert this time as someone who has talked to successful Skadden trainees about their requirements:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Emphasis Your answer places a lot of weight on your personal journey and mindset. That’s a strength, but for firms like Skadden it can sometimes help to let the firm’s work and structure take centre stage, with your experiences supporting that fit rather than leading it.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Skadden specific detail You clearly understand Skadden, but you might strengthen this by being even more explicit about what makes it distinct from similar US firms, particularly in how its teams operate across jurisdictions.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Transactional focus Your interest in FinTech M&A is coherent and well explained. Tying that interest a little more closely to specific Skadden matters or practices could help sharpen the connection.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Big picture A rejection here doesn’t mean the application missed the mark entirely. At this level, small differences in emphasis can make a big impact, and this reads much more like a fine-tuning issue than a fundamental one.</li> </ul>If you’re reworking this question for other firms, a slight rebalancing rather than a rewrite is probably all that’s needed!You will definitely get there and please let me know if you need any more help!</blockquote>
