See, the background to my drafting here was that I'd heard from Grad Rec (not Skadden, but a different firm) that they want to see more about you as opposed to why the firm. So I leaned quite heavily into who I am for this answer. That may have been at the cost of sounding superficial when talking about Skadden.I guess sounding superficial may be a general shortcoming of my applications - I have trouble being really specific when I outline my motivation. I actually thought this answer was one of the better ones because I tried to connect several points to sound more unique: in para. 2, I talk about strength in FinTech M&A against the background of a broad transactional practice. I thought this was as specific as I could get without going into so much detail that Grad Rec may get turned off, like e.g. the fact that it was SPAC mergers. Do you have any advice on how to find that middle ground?</blockquote>
