Networking Meeting Advice
Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2018 10:34 pm
1L meeting with a senior associate at a big firm in a city/practice area that I'm interested in. I knew this person from a different job a while back, emailed a few times when I was picking a law school, and I recently got in touch to get coffee.
What are some good questions that I should ask outside of "what kind of cases are you working on?" I want to communicate my interest in the firm but not seem like I expect any favors. I'm not worried about keeping the conversation going, I just don't want to squander the opportunity or have them leave the meeting thinking that I wasted their time. It's also not like this is an interview.
Should I keep the conversation general? Or is it ok for me to ask questions about OCI, lifestyle, etc?
Thanks for helping out
