It really depends when you apply. If you apply during a campus recruiting cycle it’s going to be a while

They’re in summer intern recruiting right now so it’ll probably be a while

It was around 6 weeks for me and I cold applied no referral

I had two interviews last week at good PI firms. Hopefully I will finally get out of ID for 2023. I’m so done with it. I know plaintiffs work has its own challenges but I’m so over the tedious time entries and clients cutting my time and micromanaging my every decision. Anyone else made the move out of ID, to PI or something else? How’s it going?
