Advice requested: applied to a corporate counsel position a month ago, had one screener and then nothing. Company just opened an AGC position that’s the same thing but 2 YOE more than what I have. Should I apply to that too, or is that bad form/not recommended?

If they didn't want you for the first role why would they want you for the higher level one?

Agreed that it’s probably a waste of time, especially in this market. Each role is getting dozens or more applications and if you’re not even at the desired YOE your chances are slim.

OP, are you currently in biglaw? How many YOE and practice group? My team has an opening

Ah good luck. Securities roles are few and far between for in house.

Apply anyway, you never know why they pulled and reposted, especially in this economy,

I was in-process for a similar role and my friend was part of the hiring process, so I had insight behind the scenes. After one interview, they never scheduled the follow-up because the leadership wanted the new employee at a different work location. They eventually changed their mind and reposted and would have fast-tracked me if I reapplied, but I already accepted a better position as this was going on.

Best place to get pre-qualified for a mortgage?

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?

Additional Posts in In-House Counsel

Very specific to retail and/or hospitality in-house roles: has anyone found a good solution for predictive scheduling? Our retail division has one set of software for scheduling and one for payroll, and neither of them can handle predictive scheduling compliance issues unless they’re used for both the scheduling and payroll functions. I’m coming up empty on ideas for them to bridge the gap, but I’m also new to my compliance counsel role, so I would be overjoyed if anyone has suggestions.
