Having interview fatigue. I quickly run out of Qs because these firms aren’t giving very different answers or I’m asking Qs I know the answer to. As background, I litigated for 5 years for a few firms (couple biglaw) before clerking, so I’m familiar with the interviewing firms from experience and word of mouth. It’s tough to keep asking the same stuff when I’m interviewing with so many partners at each firm. Recs for good Qs for a mid/senior lit associate with regional/biglaw firms?

What about asking about the partners’ experience and how they ended up at that firm?

Because you’ll be coming in as a more senior associate, questions about integration might be helpful!

I actually enjoy it when mid-senior level laterals ask hard questions because it makes the interview mutual and increases my interest in the candidate. Ask the harder questions like what does the firm do when work is lean, how much work are you expected to perpetuate and by when, how much clarity is there in the partnership track for income and equity partners, etc.
