They won’t ask you the deals your company is covering. If they ask, just say it’s confidential. They won’t hire people with a big mouth anyway.

You shouldn’t disclose how many deals you have or have not closed. All you should talk about is the way you approach problems without disclosing any information regarding your current company’s portfolio.

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX. I just got my first job offer and I was worried at first thinking that I was in “Trump” territory, but I tested the waters in my interview and spoke about police injustices and how prosecutor’s job is not only to protect victims, but also defendants from police injustices. I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?
