What interview questions have you gotten for in house interviews that were more behavioral in nature? About to interview for an in house role and have only worked in law firms and trying to prepare for more fit-based questions that could be asked by a corporate employer. Thanks!

I’m a 5th yr considering lateraling from a V30 to a V100 to increase chances at partnership.

At the V30 equity partnership odds seem much lower, but my reviews have been good. The V30 has >$2mm per year higher PPP, higher chambers ranking and better exit ops generally.

Additional Posts in In-House Counsel

I am a very junior partner that was just offered the opportunity to be the sole in house counsel for a small (75 employees/$40m annual revenue) in an industry where I have very little knowledge. Great opportunity to grow if it goes well but I’m not sure if my background is right. I’ve been looking for a way to transition out of lit and in house and this came about very unexpectedly. Is taking it the right call?

I said I did apply, indicated I was interested in meeting, and asked if I could send my materials. She said yes and she would send me some times. I sent my materials and haven’t heard a thing.

Although only execs can access things like financial reports and HR files, surely there’s a better way of organizing the thousands of docs.
