7th year associate lateraling to an AmLaw 100 firm. How long does the conflict check process take? Someone at the firm mentioned 3-5 weeks but that seems excessive. I was thinking 2, maybe 3.

Unfortunately, that's probably about right. Just went through this and it took about 3.5 weeks from start to finish. Conflicts departments at most firms are overwhelmed as it is, and inevitably lateral hire conflicts checks get bumped down in the pile. Hopefully you'll see a quicker turnaround, but I would try to keep yourself distracted and manage expectations.

2-3 weeks, on average litigation processes take longer than corporate.

Hi fishes,

I need some guidance from you all.
I have 1.9 years of experience in L2 support . I want to switch to Data Analyst.Can you guide how can i proceed with it? Will it be the right decision.

I switched my company 3 months ago for a kind of similar role thinking I will have more exposure to technologies but as it is a product based company, I am supporting their own product only.

I am feeling directionless these days. Please guide me.

Curious what anyone thinks about cologne? Is it a turn on? I am not really into it.. but I just got a whiff of this dude at the gym and the cologne did something to me 🥰 It was really subtle. I tend to just like the way a man smells (not body odor but just natural scent) and don’t usually like it covered up, but wow this guy tonight 🥵 I might might buy some but i figured it would be gay to ask him “what are you wearing” because that prob isn’t something the bros at the gym do.
