[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 183438, member: 36777"] This sounds great if you ask me. Your answer finds a nice balance between demonstrating specific knowledge of a market sector (which can set you apart from other applicants) and keeping the subject matter accessible enough for the well-informed reader. I would therefore not worry about it being overly technical. The only thing I will add is that, besides in choice of subject-matter, you should try to avoid being overly technical in your writing. The simpler and easier to understand your sentences, the better. You can assume certain levels of familiarity from your reader with concepts like earn-out provisions, but it will be very helpful if you are also able to provide short explanations of what they mean (of course, word-count permitting) or write in such a way that the reader might grasp the full meaning from the context. This is because this manner of writing demonstrates more than an ability to summarize points from articles thought of by others - it shows you have gained a deeper understanding of the subject, which enables you to analyse it independently.
