A genuine question to all the hiring managers and HRs out there—what's the best answer you’ve come across (or secretly hope to hear) for “Tell me about yourself” or “What are your strengths and weaknesses”? I’m sure there’s something that stands out beyond the usual.

I love it when this flows into a natural back and forth conversation. But that is dependent on both parties.

Be genuine when asked about yourself. Be up beat. Half glass full person. Strengths; you’re dedicated, a leader, emphasis on being a team player. Weaknesses; I can have a tendency to get over committed to a job. And if ever asked why we should hire you. My favorite answer is, no one wants it more than I do.

These questions always feel like a trap to me!

Looking for tips from seniors. I'm at A1 level at a litigation firm, stepping out of the deer-in-headlights phase. With the Partners assigning work to me in teams of 2-3, there's potential for growth. But with the sheer amount and depth of work on each case it's challenging to take on a more "adult" role. I often find myself in a more assistive role, either by my choice or the Partners'.
How can I accelerate my progress? What are Partners' and Seniors' expectations from year one associates?

Hi Fishes,

I have given my interview in HCL and cleared 1 TP, 1 hcl manager & Client TP and Client Manager rounds .
In initial screening HR told the generic statement of 30-40% and I have given my ask as 50% minimum. After clearing the rounds I heard from the project team that Client has given great feedback and wanted to take me in .
What is the % I can ask in HR Discussion and will they reject in HR if I ask more now .
I have 9.5 years total experience and role is Storage Architect.
Thanks

Received an offer to lateral to a Big Law firm in my current state. Kind of my dream job. Recently decided with my spouse that we’ve had more than enough of our current state and we want to move out of state next year. There’s no local office for this firm where we’re going, and no idea if remote would be an option. Conflicted on whether it’s fair to take the position, although I really want it. Thoughts?

Context: I applied for a position a while back and got interviewed, but didn’t go to the next round. I found the same position open again a month later at a different location and applied. Almost immediately, I was called for an interview, but with the same interviewer. What does this mean? Is this going to get awkward?
