Anyone work for Sun Life Financial ? I’ve been interviewing since Feb 7 and keep getting asked to meet with more and more people. The recruiter told me we are “heading for an offer” but I’m getting frustrated. It’s for an AVP role. I was warned about this but like, what gives? Does it take this long to make things happen? Absolutely brutal.

I’m a non-TX immigration attorney mentoring a UT student who went to my undergrad. He’s done incredibly well in OCI and pre-OCI. Thus far, he’s landed interviews with (all in Houston): Baker Botts, Sidley Austin, Kirkland, Winston Strawn, Reed Smith, Norton Rose, and Locke Lord. Also Perkins Coie in Dallas. He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?
