I spoke with four people in total. Two were associates and two were partners. The interview was pretty standard; they asked typical questions. We mostly discussed my past work, the deals I've worked on, my teamwork style, and my goals for the future.

I applied through my law school's career portal via OCI and got an interview. It was a 15-minute chat with an associate and a partner. They asked straightforward questions about why I chose law, what I enjoy about law school, and if I had a specific practice area in mind.

It was really informative, but a bit messy. Felt more like a personality check than anything else. It was okay, but maybe the Zoom format made it feel that way. Liked everyone I talked to though.
