A larger firm (~200-300 attorneys) wants to chat with me over the phone about the resume I submitted.
Honestly, I applied over indeed when I was firing out applications. Lol.
Never really expected they would be interested.
I actually opened my own firm at this point. Do you think a firm of this size would have any interest in me only working remote? (A client of mine gave me an office).... and I would essentially Do work on a per diem basis....
Do I even mention that I went solo or do I let them lead the convo?
Thanks...

Re: Phone interview?
If you want to work with the firm you'll have to close up shop. I wouldn't bring it up in the interview. You definitely won't be able to work remotely and do both. For one, moonlighting is frowned upon and unworkable for malpractice insurance reasons.
Do the interview and don't bring up your firm. If you get an offer then you can pick between the two

Re: Phone interview?
Let them lead the convo. I wouldn’t bring up the solo firm stuff because it could send the message that you already have a job. Think about whether you would give that up to work at this firm. It’s a personal decision that is tough to say without more information. That said, the option to be a solo always exists while this firm opportunity (if it is indeed an offer) is temporary. Good luck with what you decide.
