A perspective that always helped me is that you’re there to learn just as much about them as they’re trying to learn about you. I.e. make it conversational about their work, your skillset, and how the two may align. Give examples Ask thoughtful, probing questions throughout, when appropriate.

This may go without saying but do some research on the firm, recent headlines, their work, the practice you’re interviewing for, and a little bit on the interviewer, if possible.

Ultimately, relax! I know it’s a stressful situation but you’re made it this far so they’re obviously very interested in hiring you.

Good luck!

Thanks, that's exactly what I am planning to do. Plus keep my fingers crossed that I don't end up homeless in a few weeks.

I’m in the same spot OP!! Good luck!

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
