Mid-June was only 2 weeks ago and we’re in prime vacation season, so I wouldn’t make too much of the fact that you haven’t heard anything. But I personally would also not follow up on a cold application. If they’re interested they’ll reach out.

Oh ok you asked how to follow up so it sounded like you had no contact with anyone directly. I’d probably wait until after the July 4 holiday, but following up with that person seems reasonable.

If you have not set an AI agent to follow up every 48 hours, you are not playing this game correctly.

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any? Conventional wisdom is always that if you don’t start there it’s hard to “trade up”. My coworker and I just did it to two different great v30 firms, and I’m wondering if it’s really that uncommon? Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?
