At all future job interviews, I will be asking my prospective employer(s) what precautions they took to protect their staff and associates during the coronavirus. Who is with me?

OP, this is the reason the virus is spreading and people are getting seriously ill and overwhelming the healthcare system and people are dying. The partners at your firm are not considering the broader impact.

I’m a co-managing partner at a national firm (>12 offices, coast to coast). If this question is presented thoughtfully, with grace and respect, I would consider it a valuable question, reflecting positively on the interviewing attorney. Bonus points if the question extended beyond *physical* health to the financial health of the firm and the security of its billable and non-billable employees. Especially non-billable staff...who make the wheels go round every day.

I appreciate candidates who understand that running a firm is hard, and there’s more to it — at every level — than just slogging through billable hours every month.

And if you ask the question in this way and get a BS response from your interviewer, then you’ve learned something valuable about that firm. Maybe it’s not a place you want to invest yourself in. Maybe you go ahead and join if you need the work. But keep looking and move when the time is right.

But if you present the question in the interview as “what’s in it for *me* when the boat takes on water,” then you should skip that one. It will do you much more harm than good.

Non sequitur, but I like P1’s writing style.

I have to agree with A1... we can dream though! Just ask an associate at the firm rather than the interviewing partners who may embellish anyway out of embarrassment

I agree with this. The interviewing partners can easily lie or give a generic bs response about prioritizing wellness etc.

Hey everyone. I’ve got an interview coming up for Lead advisory (M&A). I really want the job.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.

Hi all, recently a recruiter from Amazon reached out for an SDE 2(2+ years of exp. required) role and I'm a recent CS grad. I gave the OA (which was extremely difficult w/ 99% cut-off) and other tasks related to the OA. A few hours back, I got a call from the recruiter that I had cleared the assessment and tasks and said that they are looking for 2+ years of exp. I said I'm open to the SDE1 role and said she'll ask her colleagues. Idk what to expect now 😥 Amazon Amazon India
