Applied to two firms early last week through a recruiter (responded to the recruiter’s email about one role and he connected me to another). Likelihood of hearing back before the holiday? Any insight when I might get a response this time of year?

Low. Expect a response the week after the holiday. You can always ask the recruiter what his expectations are, but assuming this firm is busy (which must be the case if they are hiring right now) people are busting their butts to wrap up loose ends prior to the holiday.

Very low. Most people are out or only handling the absolutely necessary things during holiday week (which isn’t admin/recruiting stuff).

Tell me if this is selfish or not. I adore my family, but since they're doing a very lowkey Christmas situation this year, I really would rather take a weeks vacation on my own. Obviously the holidays are about spending time with those you love, but I'm tired! And I see my entire family at least once a month for a group dinner. Am I a bad daughter/sister if I choose vacation this one time?

Do they decorate for the holidays where you work? I work at a pretty large hospital and they do the eaves and the trees outside, but I'm thinking of making some paper snowflakes and maybe getting a mini tree for the nurses station. Good idea? I don't want to offend anyone just thought it could bring some holiday cheer as corny as that is.

I am interested in moving to another state and realized that this state has one of the most restrictive reciprocity rules in the country. I've passed multiple bar exams. However, I won't get any credit for time I worked in CA because CA isn't reciprocal. I swore I'd never take another bar after taking CA - and now I have to take another exam if we move. I worked in big law in CA for two years and get no credit! Yet the exam has been waived for new grads for COVID. It sure limits our move.
