Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abbie Whitlock" data-source="post: 249799" data-attributes="member: 42112">Hi!First of all, congratulations on the final interview!I don't think you need to be inauthentic about your interest in PE, and I would instead try to broaden how you frame them, rather than pretending they have changed. For example, if you are drawn to private equity as you enjoy transactions or the deal dynamics, you could naturally link this to financing and capital structures. The aspects that attract you to PE are not necessarily exclusive to PE, and will be present in other financing, restructuring or transactional practices too.Therefore, you could say that your experience in PE made you realise you enjoy working on complex and high-value transactions where structuring and risk allocation are key. Then, you can explain that White & Case's strengths in DCM and investment advisory would allow you to engage with those same elements - particularly on the financing and capital structuring side of deals, which are often fundamental to PE transactions anyway.By framing it in this way, you are being authentic about your interests, but also showing that they are transferable and intellectually consistent with what White & Case does well. Best of luck with the interview!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
