A partner spent most of my final round talking about the office. Does that signal anything?
- R2 Interview
One of my R2 interviews felt unusual because the partner asked only a few questions and then spent a lot of time describing the office, projects, and culture. Is that a positive sign, or do partners sometimes do this regardless of how the interview went?

Mayank G.CoachTreat it as normal. Partner rounds can be less standardized, and a senior interviewer may spend more time testing your judgment, motivation, and career story.
Do final-round interviewers see my feedback from the first round?
- R2 Interview
I am heading into a final round and I am curious how much context the interviewers already have. Do final-round interviewers typically see comments or feedback from the first round, or should I assume they are evaluating me fresh?

Mayank G.CoachAssume that final-round interviewers may have some context from earlier rounds, but do not build your strategy around knowing exactly what they can see.
