Not every strong interview turns into a long-term hire. Some candidates are already halfway out the door before they start.
Watch for:
🔹 A pattern of short tenures with no clear explanation for each move
🔹 Vague answers about why this role, this firm, right now
🔹 Heavy focus on comp and title, light on the actual work
None of these rule someone out alone. Together, they're worth a direct conversation before you extend the offer.
