I’m interviewing soon with Farah & Farah for an office in central FL. This is my second interview with them. I’m an entry level legal assistant/paralegal with a paralegal certificate and Bachelors degree in Poli Sci, but no work experience in this field (worked customer service in the past). Started the process of becoming a notary public.

Any tips? What salary should I ask for? Is $42,000 too much?

$42,000 should be about right. Since you don't have any experience in the field, get ready to answer a lot of hypothetical and behavioral questions like how do you handle stressful situations and how do you prioritize your work. Try to come up with examples for things like this to show that you know how to implement what you're talking about. Good luck!

Thank you! I really appreciate the insights

Hello Fishes,
Is there any chance of renegotiation of offered CTC in fidelity on already accepted offer. I have joining in mid November and recently got a higher offer from another company.

Is there a source/template for developing a case study in response to a scenario? A partner wants to create a deck using data from our last engagement to discuss during the learning week.

I interviewed at KPMG on 11/14 and got a verbal offer the next day but since then waiting to hear from them. Been following up continuously but the partners are not replying it seems. In the meanwhile i have an offer from BT offering 90k for 4 yrs of experience which seems to be fair. I am just unsure whether to accept the offer as I was waiting for kpmg reply as I want B4 on my resume which apparently is a big deal. Is BT also good on resume for future employers ??
