Anyone with ideas and tips on how to scale through this. It sounds very intense and intimidating. Thanks!

It’s not that bad, they assign you to a office and then interviewers rotate through. Be prepared to talk through your resume with examples and the lunch is the airport test, so just be yourself and you’ll be fine

If I’m stuck in Buffalo with this person and both our flights got canceled until later this evening and I have to spend 6 hours with this person am I going to have a good time or are they going to start telling me about their Pokémon card collection (really had that happen).

Chances are you are someone that’s nice and agreeable and not too corky you should do fine. Even if you’re an introvert (like me) just don’t act weird as crap!

Go have a nice lunch with somebody ask about their current engagements, what advice they would give to somebody new to the firm, what they would change about AP If they could, which MDs do they like working with, ask about crazy stories from the annual All Firm (trust me there are tons). Just have a good conversation, it’s not that hard.
