[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 222061, member: 42112"] Hello! There are a few general ‘umbrella’ areas that I would keep an eye on, as they do come up often in interviews recently: [LIST=1] [*][B]AI regulation and data protection[/B] - firms are advising clients on how to use AI responsibly and comply with new rules [*][B]ESG and greenwashing claims[/B] - regulators are cracking down on misleading sustainability statements [*][B]Geopolitical tensions and supply chains [/B]- ongoing instability is affecting trade, energy, and transport sectors [*][B]Interest cut rates and M&A[/B] - a potential drop in rates could boost deal activity after a quiet couple of years [*][B]Cybersecurity and fraud [/B]- growing concern across all sectors, especially for financial institutions [/LIST] You don’t need to know absolutely everything, but I found that knowing the recent opportunities and challenges on the above areas was enough to handle most commercial questions. If the firm you are applying for works in specific client sectors, I’d make sure to be knowledgeable in those areas too. I would definitely look up some of the most recent specific deals or cases in the news (both in those areas, and more generally), which some other users might be able to provide some great examples of. I hope that assists! :) [/QUOTE]
