Your reasons for wanting to join us

Question

Why would you like to work at this firm?

Short answer

Give specific, firm-tailored reasons. Cite two or three concrete factors (the business mix, the team, how the firm trades or uses technology, conversations with employees) and show how each matches your strengths and interests. Avoid pay or prestige as headline reasons and avoid answers that would fit any competitor.
