    What's the hardest interview question you've ever had?

    I did a banking internship last summer. In an AC this year they really grilled me on my motivation to do commercial law. Questions like 'don't you think a banker has a more central role in a deal?' and 'why would you want to sit on the side' etc. I came so close to agreeing with them haha

    How do you 'network'?

    I wasnt sure where to post this so please move it if it's on the wrong place. This isn't really applicable to me yet but it will be soon. I was wondering if you had any tips on networking during schemes? How do you 'work the room'? Do I prepare?
