[QUOTE="Jessica Pearson - Managing Partner, post: 248127, member: 39846"] Hello Jessica Pearson here. Lovely to see you Lord Sumption. I would say that if you wanted to state something like this, frame it as some motivation to engage in complex work that intellectually stimulates you. Don't necessarily say that you want to stay past 1am but imply that you are dedicated and committed. I might save working late for a STAR question (Tell us about a time when...) rather than saying you applied to this firm because they have terrible hours and no work-life balance lol. IMO that is something partners may prefer dancing around rather than outright stating. [/QUOTE]
