You have twenty minutes to interview potential summer associates. What questions have you all found useful in this context? Want to be sure the interviewee has a chance to ask questions as well.

I give at least 3 minutes for each of these questions:

1. What is your favorite hobby? (Icebreaker to loosen them up)

2. What course have you enjoyed the most in law school so far? Why?

3. What course have you least enjoyed in law school so far? Why?

4. In your opinion, which qualities make an excellent lawyer? Why? Which of those qualities do you have?

5. What do you believe makes you unique and stand out?

6. Do you prefer to work individually or collaboratively? Why?

Those questions should take approximately 20 minutes to get through. I am interested to see the questions everyone else asks.

Thanks for the feedback. Definitely used a few of these (1, 4, and 5 in particular) and then discussed their 1L summer experiences, which seemed to work well. Then walked them through our summer associate program and gave them time to ask us questions. Not a bad first OCI I think and it was refreshing to meet with so many enthusiastic students.

Hi guys. How mych does it usually take to get an offer after last interview in EY?

Is it normal? Or it’s mean they have some doubts?

Hi everyone. I’m a front end software engineer. I’m interviewing next week for a solutions engineer at a company I really like, which I mistakenly applied for as I saw they needed ReactJS, JavaScript, HTML/CSS.

How would you approach asking the recruiter if there are any SWE openings I could be considered for instead ?

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
