      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Kirkland & Ellis (New York, NY) in Feb 2021

      Interview

      Great interviewee. Tough questions. First round screener. Then callbacks. Then offer. Make sure you ask thoughtful questions that are complex and develop the conversation. Do not sound robotic. They are looking for cool hard workers.

      Application

      I interviewed at Kirkland & Ellis

      Interview

      Easy process, no hard questions, very conversational but not much real substance to the process. Hard to judge how you did based off the interview. Very little even behavioral questions were asked.

      Done through law school. Did not feel rigid. Was conversational. Mostly about connecting and ensuring we had a good relationship. Nothing technical or even remotely technical. Then had a follow up.
