Final Interviews

I just got done with 17 interviews in 9 hours. I'm exhausted.

There is absolutely no way this would have gotten accomplished without Wife. I was literally the talking head. Before each interview, Wife would hand me a folder with all the paperwork and quickly remind me of the basics, "We're going to room 1234 for XYZ firm in Los Angeles. The firm has 1200 attorneys, 300 in the LA office, and 21 tax attorneys. Partner X is the interviewer. He specializes in international corporate M&A work, went to X university, Y law school, and your LL.M. program at LAW SCHOOL." Then I would walk in and start talking.

Wife found it incredibly humorous to listen to other candidates complain about how four or five interviews completely drained them. They would be in better shape if they had Wife keeping them organized as well. Too bad for them I'm not giving her up.

The funniest part of this excruciating day: all of these interviews are for nothing. Before any of these firms have a chance to get back to me, I will have chosen which firm and city will be my permanent home.
