the interviews went great
“Hi Shauna—the interviews went great. I felt like I have been connected to the [corporate legal] team that I met with there and on the phone for years. I believed we spoke the same languages [law]-wise, strategy-wise, business-wise, and background-wise. In the first interview, we were laughing 5 minutes into the conversation about similarities in our legal philosophies, strategies, and approaches with technologists, general lawyers, and government offices around the world… I will keep you up to date, and thank you again for Thursday's interview prep.”
