A good rule of thumb is usually:1. 1-2 minutes for straightforward answers2. Up to 3 minutes (sometimes slightly more) for competency, motivation or commercial questions.What matters most is structure and focus - if you are clearly answering the question, signposting your points, and not repeating yourself, interviewers might not mind a longer answer. They will usually interrupt or move you on if they want to!If you're worried, I would perhaps try structuring answers so that they stop at 2 minutes, but have extra depth ready if you are then prompted. This way, you sound concise but are prepared in case they ask follow up questions.Best of luck with the interviews!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
