You can look up some sample questions and think through how you would answer them. Feel free to ask for a minute to make notes before you answer, really helps put your thoughts together.

Some examples: you want to open a donut shop in Manhattan, how do you pick your location? You work for a PE firm that just bought X company with falling profits, what do you do? You’ve designed a new BI tool and want to determine product market fit, what do you do?

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview?

I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!
