    Great, you made a claim. Do you care to substatiate it and give it some actual weight?

    You do understand that you are applying for jobs where you're going to be having discussions like this everyday for many many hours a week. If you find it so "tiresome" perhaps you should consider a different career path...

    So this is just absolutely irrelevant to the argument at hand and youve gone off an tangent. The argument is not about who is a bigger competitor or who is a more direct competitor, its about who is W&C's competitors full stop. Here you say: This is literally what the whole argument is about...

    Absolutely agree with this, and that is because you would not classify as a US commercial law firm. And as I said previously: W&C’s competitors will be other US law firms. My argument still stands. Furthermore, to go back to the Ferrari and Tesla example, they are certainly more aligned than...

    The commercial law academy is fighting for the same market share as TCLA? That doesn’t make sense, how can it be fighting against itself? And this example only reinforces my point further if anything. TCLA is specifically in the business of helping people get into LAW. It’s found a niche...

    Ok but once again, I think you are getting confused between HOW businesses compete and WHO the competitors actually are. Those are just ways that law firms compete against each other and try to stand out. Let’s look at the example of the car industry for instance: Tesla and Ferrari are both car...

    Not all US law firms will be a competitor of W&C- a US law firm? Please tell me one US commercial law firm which somehow is not competing with W&C. Law firms are businesses. And businesses which produce the similar goods or services within the same industry are, by definition, competitors...

    okay? That doesn't mean that W&C's competitors are only law firms with a full-service practice in London. Law firms are constantly competing with each other all the time for deals, clients, talent etc. The fact that W&C is full-service in London is a way for W&C to DIFFERENTIATE itself from...

    Basically, assumption made = is the assumption logically justified? In this case, its certainly reasonable to assume that managerial can be defined/quantified/measured etc.

    Yes, certainly! However I personally find that interviews with a real person are more natural anyway and standing in one place for longer than 30 mins starts to get a bit tiresome for me xD

    Underrated tip for doing video interviews: Stand Up! I found that standing up and doing video interviews drastically boosts confidence and energy which facilites speaking and leads to less pauses. Could be the difference between being successful or not!
