AM1 can you share some pointers on how you landed the interview? Also I am guessing you had to go through the LBO test, is that right?

Hi everyone, hoping and wondering if I could get any help with the deal memo part for O1 ? It’s hard explaining the recruiters about it.

So I had a first interview this past Friday at a company that I had previously interviewed with and made it to the final round last month. They decided to go with an internal candidate after it came down to me and him. The current role is more senior, and was one I was asked to apply for by the hiring manager, whom I also met with during the last set of interviews. I emailed the recruiter to f/u on Friday and still have not gotten a reply. Should I be concerned?

When interviewing, do you initiate follow up with the recruiter or wait for them to reach out. I always follow up with a thank you directly to the interviewer, but I’ve waited for the recruiter to connect with me on next steps. (I haven’t interviewed in 8+ years.)

So, I'm happy at my current job and have been there about 18 months. Our pay is probably 15% below market (AmLaw 100) but so are our billable requirements. An interview for another firm kind of fell into my lap, and I'm debating whether to take it just for the sake of seeing what market really is. Is there something shady about interviewing somewhere you're not totally committed to accepting an offer from?
