Hey everyone I've been reading FT, economist and similar sources to improve my commercial awareness and I've found that it has helped keep me up to date with current trends in the market etc. What should I read to help me understand specific things such as the difference between debt financing and leverage buyout? Is there a resource for key terminology for corporate law that I can utilise? Thanks!

Hi @Amma Usman @Ram Sabaratnam @Andrei Radu
had a quick query about situational interviews. just an example question below
You are working on a piece of work assigned to you by your supervisor. A partner on another matter assigns you with another piece of work. The work is complex and the partner is unavailable, while your supervisor is in a client meeting. It becomes clear that you won't be able to complete both within the deadlines, what do you do?
in this scenario, how do you suggest we approach answers in interviews? usually the first point approach would be to ask your supervisor for advice, but since that is not possible here, what is your advice to assess the deadlines and priority of the work ourselves when someone senior is unavailable? is it better to ask someone on the same deal, maybe a senior associate about the nature of the deadline and if its pressing?

To add to Amma's great response, I think you should try to engage with both, but focus more on the person who is not taking the notes, as that is the person who you will likely be able to hold more eye contact with. Also, at least in my experience, it tends to be a partner/counsel leading the interview with questions and an associate taking the notes. Since the impression you make on the partner will likely influence your progression chances more, you want to concentrate on creating the best rapport with them.
Same here, I've heard nothing from them (paul weiss too)
is anyone yet to hear back from Covington, either AC or PFO? Seen that a few have got AC’s last week and today others have heard back too, but I’m still waiting. Should I assume PFO?
You're telling me there's no vid interview- music to my ears🤣
