[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 245894, member: 42112"] Hey! I think this is a really thoughtful question, and shows that you are commercially aware and thinking about market trends. It might help to slightly reframe it so it feels less like you are asking for a definitive answer on their strategy. Instead of directly asking whether they plan to merge, you could say something along the lines of: ”We have seen an increase In transatlantic mergers between UK and US firms - how does the firm view that trend, and how does it see its international strategy developing?” This keeps it focused on strategy rather than speculating about the firms next moves, and invites the partner to talk about the long-term vision of the firm (and shows you are thinking about how the firm is a fit for your long-term career). I wouldn’t say it is too forward - just make sure that the tone is curious rather than probing :) [/QUOTE]
