Pushing for another Office in Screening Interview
So simplicity has my applying to one office of a V15 firm but the interviewer is from another office. I have no ties to either and I think maybe the firm was oversubscribed and the CSO made room where it could to get us as many interviews as possible. I want the NYC office. Since the interviewer isn't from the firm I'm supposedly interviewing for, would it be bad to push for NYC or DC?

Re: Pushing for another Office in Screening Interview
I'm confused. Lots of firms have interviewers who interview for multiple offices. It's not weird that the person who is interviewing you is not from the office you are applying to.

Re: Pushing for another Office in Screening Interview
Simplicity has me interviewing at the Dallas office of the firm but the interviewer is from LA. Do you think it would be a problem then to be like "Dallas is cool but I want to be in DC / NY." I've read on here that it is best to go with the office your interviewer is from if you are considering two markets but mine is from neither.bk187 wrote:I'm confused.

2) are they interviewing for DC/NYC?
If one interviewing is doing all the offices, pick the office you want the most and tell them. If they have a different interviewer for NYC/DC, then you are kinda fucked and should have bid on that one.

Re: Pushing for another Office in Screening Interview
It sounds like in this situation, the firm is only interviewing for offices OP doesn't want but OP wants the firm so he bid them anyway.

Re: Pushing for another Office in Screening Interview
OP here. It is not preselect and I did bid on those offices but I think the firm split up their interviews based on the office. Thanks for the help though; It appears that there is only a single interviewer so it is probably just an arbitrary designation by simplicity.
