Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abbie Whitlock" data-source="post: 247656" data-attributes="member: 42112">Hey!I would say it is usually strategic to pick something that links to the firm's practice areas, sector focus or recent deals, as it makes it easier to show commercial awareness in a way that feels tailored to the firm.However, it doesn't have to be region or firm-specific at all. If the video games market genuinely interests you and you can discuss the below then it can be a very strong answer:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Why the restructuring happened (commercial drivers, market pressure, etc.)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The wider impact on the sector</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What it signals about consumer behaviour and risk in the market</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">How it might affect different stakeholders (e.g. competitors, lenders, employees, etc.)</li> </ul>Ideally, you would combine both - that is, pick something that you are genuinely interested in and, where possible, draw a light link to the firm. However, if your analysis will clearly be better and more confident on the gaming example, then I would definitely go for that one (and you could potentially make links to the firm if, for example, they are strong in restructuring work). A well-explained niche story is likely to be far stronger than a generic answer about interest rates that you aren't particularly interested in. I hope that assists! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
