A partner submitted my resume to her firm’s recruiting department and I got called in for an interview. I’m researching the interviewers and one is the hiring attorney. Is that a good sign or routine?

(I haven’t worked in big law to know.)

Good sign!

Totally depends on the firm.

Good sign. Probably because you’re clerking right now.

I think it's routine at some firms for a partner on the hiring committee to interview, even if they're not from the same practice area. That was my experience recently

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.
