[QUOTE="Bread, post: 219735, member: 33582"] I don’t see how the fact that other firms don’t make being a global powerhouse a strong reason to apply should affect your motivations to applying to one that does. If you want to talk about other firms (even though it is unlikely that you will specifically be requested to do so), then it’s arguably better to talk about the similarities (US, global work, strong corporate/financial practices, small trainee intake) than the differences. Ofc, an interviewer will care about why you applied to THEIR firm, not other ones. Bottom line is, really don’t sweat about the similarities and differences, you definitely won’t be asked to name the specific firms that you have applied to so generic qualities will suffice [/QUOTE]
