Any thoughts on what the interview process for a partner at a T2 is like? I "grew up" in my firm and have not been in the job market since my manager days. I'm being recruited by two different T2 firms, and interviews start in a few weeks. As expected, the recruiter is not too helpful.

Are the majority of conversations just about my book and how much I might be able to bring over? I lead a specialized practice these firms dont offer, and the opportunity is to open it at one of these firms.

My experience is that these are the easiest interviews ever. The biggest issue is whether they have a slot or a need.

The more important discussion is whether YOU want to switch and the financial, career and other considerations that go into it and then how THEY make it attractive.

You likely have built a terrific platform; it’s hard to recreate.

Back in 2015, the then head of consulting for one of the B4 had the best set of interview questions: it was TAM, your share, your share on that firm competitors, why you are different, what investments you need, etc.

Do you want to leave, or are you just fielding incoming?

Bit of both. Current role is a bit on cruise control and i like the challenge of building something fresh. Timing seems good and T2 firms seem to be looking to expand right now.

Are aggressive non-competes show stoppers for direct admit partners at MBB & T2? I'm a partner at a small boutique firm and we have very tight non-competes. Biggest issue is a 9 month period before starting new role at competing firm. I'm being recruited by a few firms. The recruiters seem to think it's a non issue but wonder if when it gets to offer stage it becomes a show stopper when partners realize I may not be able to start for 9 months. How do your firms handle these situations?
