[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 191593, member: 36740"] Hey there [USER=37704]@Tangcy[/USER] , this is a very valid question. I have come across it many times with a number of my mentees. The short answer is that this should not be a reason highlighted in applications, nor in interviews or at any stage of the process. The reason is because generally, high remuneration is seen across not just other law firms, but other industries as well - tech, finance, quantum analysis, and so on. Above all, the substantial reasons should trace back to a passion for the work at its core. What practice areas appeal to you and why? Why [B]commercial [/B]law in a commercial law firm? Dig deep into the work and spend a lot of time understanding the nuances of each practice - it will help you tailor your applications more easily to your own personal experiences. This tailored approach, in my opinion, is the strongest way a candidate can see past the application stage and start converting offers. I have spent quite some time creating sources to help with this, so I hope you find the below threads useful; [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/guide-law-firm-practice-areas.9404/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/why-this-firm-%F0%9F%A4%94%F0%9F%92%AD-crafting-applications.9119/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/why-commercial-law-investigating-your-%E2%80%98why%E2%80%99.9113/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
