It was surprisingly tough to get my foot in the door for a lateral, despite having been extremely successful during my first few years as an associate at a mid-size firm (and attending a law school that I know they hire from). Of course that's their prerogative, but I got the impression I was summarily dismissed for not ticking some big law boxes.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Having had a few friends work for DM, I know they do multiple stages of panel interviews as well as one on one interviews with a few different attorneys. Huge range of questions given the extensive process.
J'ai postulé via une agence de recrutement. J'ai passé un entretien chez Duane Morris (Dallas, TX) en mars 2023
Entretien
I met with two partners first. After the initial meeting, I then had a follow-up with three associates. The interviews were more about fit than substance. I did not meet with anyone from the base office.

Why are you looking to leave your current position?
J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Duane Morris en avr. 2015
Entretien
Was told (a few weeks after accepting position) that when interviewing they look for people who would do well at a cocktail party that they don't know anyone at. Had 2 additional callbacks (4 total interviewers). Seemed to be more of a focus on personality as they already have your resume and know your skills.
