So last cycle I had applied to Z firm with quite a distinctive TC structure and it was one of my main motivations for applying there. At interview I was asked exactly this question, something along the lines of why did you apply to X and Y if their TC structure is different to ours. I kind of flipped it around and answered saying the TC structure at Z firm was really that unique that any other firm I had applied to would obviously have a different TC structure. So it was a good way to reiterate that although the other firms had a different TC structure (because Z was so unique), my top choice was with Z because of its special TC structure (for A, B and C reasons).I got past the interview so I assume the answer was satisfactory. Sometimes you don’t really have to overthink the answer, if you cite being open to trying new things I think that’s totally fine to say. Hope that helps!
