I'm slightly confused by this - you were the interviewer or interviewee? If the former, what firm let's associates interview? If the latter, I would have shown myself out and bid them good day.

Interviewees don't ask questions?

LOL! I said the same thing and then I got paid!

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?
