I've been asked (and plan to steal) the question of "when something happens in your personal life, like a family member is sick, how would you communicate that to your team?" It's a very different feel if someone immediately refers to talking to HR or other admin, versus saying that they are close with at least one partner to talk with and help them navigate.
Similarly: how do you go about handling a personal emergency or appointment during work hours?
I still remember the midlevel associate who told me she was so grateful to have parents nearby so that if her kids had to go home from school then gma or gpa could pick up the kids rather than the associate having to leave the office. Maybe it's different in the age of covid/wfh, but I was not interested in strict facetime expectations if I was managing my work and not missing deadlines etc
I have straight up asked other associates if they like their job. Everyone will say yes but you can tell who is lying usually

Try to talk to associates who have left the firm! They’re usually quite open and honest about their experience.
If you could change one thing about your firm’s culture, what would it be?
