Partners/almost-partners who lateraled (from industry or other consulting firm) to another firm as a partner, how were the interview conversations and what were they mostly about? First time interviewing for an MD/Partner role, was headhunted to build out a new capability at the firm, and not quite sure what to expect. It’s a bit of a step up for me and want to go in more prepared. Thanks in advance!

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
