Anybody have someone they recommend in the NY/NJ area for interview skills/prep? Law firm interviews specifically. I am starting the process of attempting to lateral in the next few months and want to be sure I have all my bases covered as it took me a long time to find my current position.

Your recruiter should prep you for every interview and every round you go on. They should have interview notes on your group.

What area of law?

I should add that I have a recruiter already, I am looking for someone who specifically does legal interview coaching.

Is your recruiter not offering that?

They are, but I am looking for someone additional for more practice and a different viewpoint.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
