The weirdest interview I ever had was with Fisher Phillips. It was for a Knowledge Management role, which I wasn’t sure I wanted, but I definitely knew it wasn’t for me after this interview. The interviewer barely let me speak, and spent a lot of time bashing my current firm (another Big 4) even though I told her I was happy at my firm but was just curious about other opportunities. She told me that since everyone on the team is all friends, I’d have to have an interview with the whole team to see if they’d want to hang out with me. She also apparently gave the same Zoom link to all candidates so the next interviewee entered our Zoom towards the end, and the interviewer was just like “I guess we’re out of time, bye!” It was shockingly unprofessional.

Any insight as to the interview process? I was told there would be three total, and have a second one upcoming that they said would be an hour long, with two partners. Seems like a longer interview so I’m curious what it might be like, if you have any info.

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!
