I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Wilson Elser (New York, NY) in Jan 2025
Interview
Spoke with the recruiter over the phone and then had a zoom interview scheduled a few weeks later. The interview was odd as the partner interviewing me gave me the “we will hire you if you promise to stay” vibes. Seems like the firm has a high turnover and they are looking for associates who are willing to work 2000 plus billables with 120k salary.
