I’m working with a big law 2015 corporate candidate in NYC who has been rejected by 20 firms so far. She told me when she found her job in 2020, she had 5 offers in 5 minutes. Unfortunately, when associates surpass being 8 years out from law school, it becomes so tough. Why?!

I just did a search on LinkedIn recruiter for a position I’m working on. Everyone who secretly marked themselves to be open to work to recruiters were either 2023-2024 or 2015 or earlier grads. Remember what I said about lateraling getting harder as attorneys get older!

My 2014 grad had an interview yesterday and they asked what he enjoyed about law school. I would have panicked because I barely remember it. How would you have responded?

My 2016 NYC litigation candidate at a V10 firm is burnt out and wants a slightly “easier” position. He’s interviewing at a V100 firm that would cut his base pay by $100k. That firm told him they’re billing similar hours to his current job. Should he stop interviewing?

A firm immediately rejected my candidate. I was surprised, bc I really like this candidate so I called the firm to ask why. They just called me back saying they made a mistake and asked to schedule an interview. We are all moving so fast. Sometimes it pays to follow up.

Is it weird to address people at work as Mr/Ms/Mrs? I recently had a candidate reach out to the employer as “Ms.___” and I told him it came off as awkward. He told me he had manners. Which one of us is right?

Today I had to teach a recent grad to always respond to an email, even if the response is just “got it.” What are some other soft skills like these that aren’t necessarily intuitive to a junior associate and only come from experience?

I spoke to a corporate 2013 grad today who worked at a midsize firm before going in-house. He told me something he never realized was that having a big law firm on your resume is the golden ticket back into the job market. He now regrets turning down that big law job years ago.

A firm called my candidate for an interview in July. After that, he went through three more rounds of interviews and the firm called his references. It’s been a month since I heard from the firm and they won’t return my calls or emails. Let’s take bets: Will he get an offer?

Breaking into big law later in your career is extremely challenging. I personally did it through personal networking and working in a niche practice area where everyone in the industry sort of knew each other. If you broke into big law from a smaller firm, how did you do it?

A midsize NYC firm is looking for a litigator with 15+ years of experience for low to mid $200ks. After 1 day, I received 10 impressive resumes. Does it surprise you that so many would be interested? What does this say about the experienced litigator job market?

A firm just asked for my 2013 candidate’s transcript. Do you think they’re confirming that he went to school where he claims or they’re reviewing his grades?

A candidate called me after his interview saying that it went well and that the firm even said they wanted him to meet more people. A week later, the firm emailed me that they passed. What happened?

My candidate told me he didn’t like a firm because he felt the conversations during his interview were politically more right leaning than he was. Would you pass on a firm for having partners with different political views?

I just received an offer on behalf of a 2019 graduate in NYC doing tax who was annoyed that his offer at a midsize firm was $190,000 and not at least $200,000. Does he deserve more?

I just spoke to someone who is “head of legal”, which means one position under the GC, at a publically traded company. Her base is $330,000 with a bonus up to 20% (last year she did not collect in full). She is a 2006 grad from a T-14 school. Does this comp seem fair?
