lateral lunch interview
Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 27th, 2014 12:28 PM Author: mewling giraffe french chef Subject: lateral interview 2nd year associate in small firm. Managed to get interview with V100 firm for lateral position. Never been through large firm interview/hiring process, so don't know how these things normally go. I'm supposed to have lunch with hiring partner and later with another partner. That's all I know so far. Is this typical? No panel interview? Should I expect something more formal later if these two don't hate me?

If you impress those guys they'll bring you in for a half day of interviews where you'll meet with five or six attorneys (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2685707&forum_id=2#26408838) |

im surprised they're bothering to waste time having lunch with you. that's prob a good sign that they like you. usually a screening interview is in-office.
and biglaw doesn't do "panel interviews." you meet with 6-8 people over and over again and answer the same stupid questions. |

I know sometimes you might get an offer on the spot, but it didn't happen with me. How long would it ordinarily take a big firm to make a decision after the second stage interview?

Date: October 30th, 2014 10:35 AM Author: motley orchestra pit I went through the lateral process last year and the simple answer is that there is no meaningful answer. Some firms my recruiter was able to tell me the day after whether an offer would be coming. At another firm I got an offer over two months after the last interview. Depends on their needs, who you're up against, if they give someone else an offer how long they take to make their mind up on it, how much time the group has to devote to hiring decisions etc. Total crap shoot.

The good news is that firms are slammed right now, so if this one doesn't work out, you've got a good shot of finding something similar or better elsewhere.
