Depends on the CRO. Some are building themselves into much more than what you’d think a CRO of 10 years ago looks like. Others are useless piles of mediocrity. So as always, it depends

Which ones would you consider the mediocre ones vs the more innovative ones?

I mean... you could be a big fish in a small pond, and cleanup so to speak.

Just diligence and know what you’re getting into.

CROs have better WLB and better margins - as an offering its less commoditised. It’s a smart move if you like R&D

I went to a T14 law school, got great grades and glowing recommendations, and wrote (what I thought was) a great writing sample. But I got rejected from all 70 federal clerkships I applied to. The only thing I can think of is: I took a non traditional route after law school and did a 2 year public interest fellowship in a niche field of administrative law. The rejection gave me a lot of self hatred. I still really want to clerk. Any advice? What is wrong with me? I feel like a failure.

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
