On large Zoom meetings involving your entire legal team + opposing team + business folks, if you are a midlevel/junior, do you keep your video on?? Is it better to keep video on or does nobody care?

Off for bandwidth unless told otherwise. It’s better to have everyone’s video off except the speaker so it is less distracting to the other participants. Nothing worse than watching people twirl in their chairs while someone is giving a presentation.

Definitely off if a massive call. If a smaller call, I will have the camera on to say hi, and then it goes off. I only keep it on if I’m an actual participant in the discussion.

I think you have to make a determination based off of the rest of the call. If most people have it on, you should, too. I’ve noticed quite a few partners commenting about this, so it’s definitely noticed.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
