guys am i cooked if i mentioned one sentence about an international secondment opportunity to a certain office in a 'why this firm' question. I did still manage to mention two other points about the firm and my interaction with the London office.
What firm is this and why would this be an issue? I’m genuinely asking? As long as you mentioned why that excites you I’m not sure what the problem would be. I know a lot of firms have international secondments but, many don’t and if you mention other things specific about the firm I’m sure that should be fine.

sorry just to clear it up - i saw an earlier post on the forum from Jessica mentioning that we should focus on work the London does in our answers, so I just wondered whether that sentence would make my commitment to the London office of this firm seem a bit shaky/unserious - but I’m hoping like you said that the other parts of my answer make up for it.
