You'll have a few chats with different partners. Each partner meeting is kind of a vibe check based on your skills, what you practice, and if you vibe. If they dig you, you get an offer. If they don't, you'll probably just get ghosted.

I interviewed with 4 partners at a typical NY law firm. The firm has very long hours and little chance of becoming a partner or counsel, though they do promise you might make it. During the interview, one partner mentioned a rainmaker from my alma mater and asked if I wanted to be a partner or counsel. They rejected me the next day. I don't regret it because not getting an offer is better than working hard for years and then getting let go.
