Have a first stage interview coming up at another Big 4. It’s with a director, which I wasn’t really expecting. Is this normal for first round? And what should I expect at director-level interview?

Yep - just a chat. Had one today, they asked me about my CV, strengths and weaknesses, where I see myself in 5 years and why I want to move.

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer. It’s definitely going to be a pay cut coming from big law but I do get some nice equity in the company. Is the jump worth it? I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?
