Currently interviewing to lateral but all of the partners of said law firm know the partner at mine (I’m at a small boutique).

Do you have to ask to keep everything confidential or is it implied? I don’t want him to know considering how he is.

Always ask to keep communications confidential!Not always implied. You can also always frame it as “having a conversation” not a formal interview if it ever leaked.

Definitely tell them it is confidential and no one should contact your current firm. While it is implied, you should be clear in this case.

Are any of the new firm’s partners friends with your partner (to the extent you know)? I would not interview someone from a good friend’s firm unless the candidate convinced me they were leaving no matter what. I imagine there are some who would call their friend and tell them that X applied for a job (I wouldn’t do that).

How did you give notice you were lateraling to people you like? Particularly if you haven't been there that long?

I'm lateraling to another firm because frankly I think the management of this one is terrible, but the people (and individual partners) I actually work with are awesome. I've only been here for about 18 months, so I imagine that short time frame will make it extra awkward 😬

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!
