I hope you are doing well too! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Congratulations on being invited to the AC! I would say that 5 minutes is likely a bit on the long side for a "why this firm" answer. Even if it worked well with the graduate recruitment team, as you mentioned, partners tend to prefer clear and structured answers that get to the point more quickly.As a general rule of thumb, I would aim for around 2-3 minutes - you could start with a strong opening that signposts the rest of your answer, and then move onto 2-3 well-chosen reasons. You can always expand if they prompt you or ask follow-up questions!The fact that your longer answer worked before is a good sign, as it shows that the content is strong! The key now is refining it so that it is concise, rather than cutting entire ideas out.I hope that assists, and best of luck!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
