I have my first big law interview and I’m having difficulty figuring out questions to ask all of my interviewers. I’ve looked them up on LinkedIn, the company website, etc. but i really don’t know what to ask or how to tailor the questions to specific interviewers. I would love any suggestions/examples. Thanks in advance!

These questions aren’t specifically tailored but I’ve found these two are usually received well: (1) What’s an exciting project you’re currently working? (2) What’s the biggest mistake you see summer associates make?

Thank you!!

Keep in mind as you work your way through any potential questions you ask; most people love to talk about themselves. Start there and integrate what exactly is the reason you want this opportunity for.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard

Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?

How are you planning to close education loan for MBA. Is tax saving worth the stress of loan.

Currently I work for a small company that does the construction of small cell utility poles and roof top sites for the major cell carriers like VZW, T-mobile, AT&T and so on. I am a project coordinator but I do everything under the sun. Created project tracker. Submitti bids, sourcing material, negotiating price on materials, handling post construction inspections, scheduling sub contractors, notifying stakeholders, coordinating with construction managers - property owners - building management.

I know that people say it’s all about story, but with a certain gpa/gmat score is there a “floor” that you’re safe on? For example would someone with 4.0/780 (not me) be pretty much assured at least 1 M7? Or is there a reasonable chance that all M7s will reject them? Or is their floor just lower (T15 for example)?
