[QUOTE="kapao88, post: 110543, member: 17886"] Hey all! Just spoke to a friend who is a big shark in the financial world (okay, she just works for Goldman so I trust her with interview things, she's also a BAME woman from a background like myself so I also listen to her because of that) and she said that in most interviews with big city/international institutions (like a private equity powerhouse firm, like the one I have an AC for v soon) you kinda have to keep your answers short. I know I have to be concise, but when I asked her how short she said keep your answers to a max of 1 minute... as someone who talks a LOT (part of my ADHD) I have tried timing myself with answers and I usually go on for 1.5 min - 2 mins even when practicing. I feel a bit worried I will lose favour because of my long answers!! Any thoughts or advice? I know it depends on the questions as well, just in general what do you think about length in different question categories? [/QUOTE]
