[QUOTE="Shiv Lawy, post: 242158, member: 43475"] Update- PFO after the Akin TI. Genuinely gutted, I thought Akin was the best match for my Asset management/PE background. I suspect it was the "What do you do to stay commerically aware" question I panicked, (edit: and forgot to mention I just did an MBA) because my life and job is current commercial awareness...I said I was studying for CFA level 2 and read the FT every day....and then remembered my actual commercial awareness is talking to my clients who are trying to raise funds. I don't know if that came through or was too non standard an answer. I honestly wasn't prepared for situational questions like that, I prepared for more of a partner level interview about my motivations and fit. Oh well. [/QUOTE]
