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.
