What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall thought it would be more conversational but got "grilled" since both interviews went down a list of questions but I made it conversational due to the nature of my responses. A lot of follow-up so didn't feel like an interrogation at least. Both were very nice and my advice is to be real and don't give them answers they're looking for. This will help you come off more genuine and you will make a better impression.
