How many rounds of interviews do firms usually do for laterals? I have a first round coming up with a co-chair, partner and associate in the group I’ve applied to, but it’s unclear whether that’s just a screener/I’d have to do callbacks. If relevant, I’m being poached by a partner that just joined from my current firm so my understanding was that I’d be fast-tracked.

Generally, two. A screener and a call back. Can be more depending on who has to weigh in on the decision. DPW drug me in for four rounds of interviews, bastards.

Agreed, and adding—it could also be less. Depending on what the firm needs/timing, you might have just one interview with all of the decision-makers and follow-up calls with assocs for fit after the offer is made.

Just finished my post-clerkship interviewing. Generally, two rounds pre-offer. They’ll try and wow you will high caliber attorneys to get you lured in/invested early before you meet other firms.

If you’re being poached, seems more like a fast-track situation so I’d guess one round.

I only did 3 interviews in a similar poach situation. Otherwise have met with like as many as 8-10 people.

3 people. I think possibly my partner was technically #4 but we didn’t really interview lol. He went over a couple weeks before the associates.

Sometimes I've done a call and then a formal interview. Currently waiting on an offer where I did one interview and once it finished I was told to expect an offer. Some firms move fast and some do 2 rounds

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.

Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.
