LF is not always the obvious starter option for those beginning a career in investment banking. The Capital Markets and M&A divisions tend to be a more common starting point for young analysts. Thus, your interviewer wants to know what motivates you to pursue a role in LF rather than a different space. Demonstrate to your interviewer that you have solid reasons for pursuing a career in LF, reflecting on why you are drawn to this work and how your skills match up with the projects you'll be doing.

"As a math major, I very much enjoy quantitative reasoning and consider myself to be quite analytical. I'm drawn to LF, given the in-depth quantitative modeling and analysis I'll be doing when working on a deal. I'm excited, too, to have the opportunity to work on a lot of deals right off the bat. This active work environment will keep me engaged, and I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to work directly and indirectly with non-investment grade clients across a variety of industries."
