  • 8. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to RPC

    • Show your personality. Be curious, engaged and don't be afraid to have an informal chat with interviewers or anyone else at the firm. It's not a stuffy environment and they like to know that you're a normal person who can both do excellent work and also not take themselves too seriously and can have a laugh with colleagues.
