Wasn’t that “expectations” slide a few years ago from PH M&A? Not saying it’s markedly different elsewhere but that should tell you what you need to know.

Does it? I feel every firm has people like that and it generally is the expectation. It’s just that that PH person was the only one with low enough of an EQ to actually put it into writing.

Dealing with a partner from Paul Hastings right now who is remarkably off market and wildly obstreperous about it. Plural form of anecdote is not evidence but as an associate on the other side of the deal, I don’t envy anyone who would have to work under him lol

Yeah, I gotta put obstreperous back in rotation

I have an interview tomorrow with a recruiter who contacted me through LinkedIn. I believe I am way under-qualified for the position and I pointed that out to her, but she responded with several points from my resume as to why she believes the role is a good fit with my experience. It would be a leap, but maybe I need to take it as a challenge and not limit myself? I just don’t want to get in over my head and fall flat on my face. What are some questions I could ask during the first interview?

Neither of these feel that helpful. Any one have suggestions for other identity-based goals that get at these changes I want to make?
