[QUOTE="Sierra, post: 144792, member: 28847"] Your mileage may vary, but generally it depends which firms you are targeting The classic example is the approach to US firms (generally more technical, and you need to be specific regarding practice areas - e.g. some firms will grill you on m&a, pe, maybe finance concepts) vs UK firms (generally more focused on competency, and what you want out of your training). That being said all firms do a good mix of motivation, competency, technical and personality/cv-based questions. It is good to overprepare for firms (e.g. researching deals, partners, etc) to the extent that if they ask you about it (or perhaps you could even steer the conversation so that you can impress them with your research), you will be able to give them a good, succinct, well-thought out answer. But the interview should still be natural and conversational. Definitely steer the conversation at the start, so that you can highlight your research, why the firm's practice/training strengths interest you, and why YOU would be the best fit for the firm. But later on during the interview (usually around 20 mins in), you want to keep it conversational so that you leave with a good impression. Also, you can use your research when asking them about well-thought out questions when they ask "do you have any questions for us?" [/QUOTE]
