Kim’s backstory was a lie.
Kim was initially looking forward to work for Schweikart and Cokely firm, so during the interview with Richard Schweikart in S2 E8 she really wanted to make a good impression. To do so, she faked a backstory she knew they would like. A bit of Jimmy might have rubbed off on her.
After Richard said "Pulled yourself up by your boot straps, I like that", taking about Kim starting out in the mailroom, Kim knew how to impress him: An inspiring story about a rise to success from humble beginnings through hard work and ambition. So that's exactly what she did with a fake backstory about being from “just a tinny little town barely on the map” but moved to the city wanting more.
Leaving the meeting, Kim’s Freudian slipup, calling Richard “Howard” shows she’s starting to have second thoughts. Maybe wanting to leave Schweikart and Cokely just like she’s planning to leave HHM.
After the interview, Kim goes to the parking lot, she realises what she has done, she pulled a Slipping Jimmy! Getting her way by lying. This convinces her that maybe Jimmy might be right. So she reconsiders his offer.
