I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role. Does anyone have any tips on virtual interviews and how to gauge the culture of the firm and if it really will be a good fit for you? I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

Hey there! I can totally empathize and understand where you’re coming from. Things I do to understand company culture and whether or not if a company is a good fit. I research the company. I find people on LinkedIn and ask questions directly about their role. During the interview I ask the members how long they’ve worked there, thoughts on culture and I gauge how they respond if they’re being direct and honest. Also, sometimes if it’s a company that I’ve been wanting to work for I.e a tech is this a stepping stone to get me to xyz... there’s also lots of videos and templates out there to use to send out, good luck! And congrats on your virtual interview:)!
