I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Linklaters (Luxembourg) in Aug 2024
Interview
It was a quite straightforward process with a clear indication on what it is expected from the candidate. They also clearly presented the career path. In total there were 3 interviews, one with hr, 1 with the hr partner and 1 with the partners of the department I was about to join. No technical questions were asked.
Two stage interview process - one with technical questions and a get to know you session. If you are being interviewed as a lateral they expect you to know your stuff so you cannot fudge it on the spot. It is not something you can prepare or study for.
