Wow that's quick! Yeah usually with offices like London it can take a while, did you apply London? 2 days is very quick, that's great to hear!

I actually applied to Newcastle, it’s a pretty big office so quite shocked at the speedy reply. What stage of the application process are you up to?

Just prepare answers to the most common competency questions, do a bit of research (know a bit about the department you're applying for), just be personable. That's about it really. Don't try overthink it. I didn't have to do a presentation, not sure why, might be a restructuring thing? And good luck!

It was really good, the interviewers are really kind and the best way to prepare for it is just do your research on your service line, ey and the location and then just think of some examples to use in the motivation and competency questions.

Thank you so much mate. Thats really helpful. What kind of commercial awareness question did they ask you? Did they ask for your opinion on recent market events? Sorry about all the questions mate I'm just rlly nervous.

There wasn't a specific question. I sort of answered it in the 'why this business line' question. I also looked up my interviewer on linked.in before hand, to find a few recent deals he worked on, so I could ask him about it in the Q&A. I also asked him to talk me through the most interesting deal he'd just worked on. That created a good back and forth, which I think helped demonstrate some commercial awareness. Honestly again, just chill out, the interviewer will be nice, just don't overthink it... and good luck!
