How do I tell a firm I screened with that another firm I screened with is moving forward with full rounds? I would prefer the former firm, even though the latter firm is ranked higher. Thanks for any advice

Got the invite for final rounds for SFA. Please help!

1) How do I ACE this? Rinse and repeat on PS1/PS2 prep or do more?
2) What can I expect - It’s on Chime and not in person.
3) They’re asking for salary expectations & I found out via research that the recruiter quoted median TC but I’d like top TC (200). Do I need to explain why my expectations changed?
4) Is there value in attending the Pre Recruiter Call/ Candid Calls?
5) How do they expect ppl to take a full day off for “maybe”?

TIA!

Hypo: client says they agreed to use a prior agreement another firm drafted as precedent for a new deal prior to engaging you. It’s maybe the most poorly written contact you’ve ever seen.
