Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process was pretty laid-back, with two junior attorneys. They mainly focused on my interest in The FTC, consumer protection, and related topics. I ended up leading much of the discussion with my own questions, so it's a good idea to have some solid questions ready. We also spent a good amount of time talking about the personal interests I listed on my resume.
