[QUOTE="Sandrou, post: 3039, member: 31"] Personally, this is one question I practiced very carefully before interviews. Don’t listen to people who say, “oh they just want to know who else you applied to”. Be very careful with the firms you mention. The reason I say this is because you do not know who will interview you. I had one partner ask me, “you’ve mentioned 2 other magic circle firms, why didn’t you apply to all of them? Why did you choose to apply to those firms? And What makes our business model different? Or would you say they’re fairly similar?” Given this lengthy question, I quickly realised mentioning 1 or 2 firms is sufficient. As mentioned above, selecting firms with strong expertise in a particular sector is a good explanation so long as you can articulate your thoughts. I often mentioned that I applied to set firms because I met X firm at X event and wanted to learn more about these firms before making an informed decision. [/QUOTE]
