Do recruiters ever work with candidates who have just one full year of post-law school experience?

100% depends on practice. We have done so a number of times.

I rarely can with mid/big law attorneys, but my team has done first year moves with family and civil lit this year. I usually tell attorneys to stick it out until your second year at least if you can. You'll have more options on the table.

It really depends on the candidate and the firm. How were your grades coming out of law school and law school rank? Those play a large factor in general, but especially when lateraling so early due to your low level of experience.

Rare as firms generally pay us for 3-6. But it happens occasionally. Right now I’m
Not working with any 2023s and only 2 2022s as not enough demand right now for juniors in BigLaw.

Sure. If you’re in a high demand practice and there are some clients open to that level, we do. Usually limited options for that junior.

I just got off the job market and I had about 8 recruiters reach out to me/try to work with me with only 6 months of post law school experience. If you have legal internships under your belt, it counts towards your job experience too and recruiters may aggregate all your internship/post JD experience when considering you for a position. It ultimately depends on the requirements of the roles they are recruiting for but when recruiters factor in your internship experiences, thy reach out even with 1 year of post law school experience or less.

It's more than a week now and I haven't heard back. Can anyone shed light on the process -- what to expect, timelines, what is the interview process like, etc.

Thanks!

When listing position at a consulting firm on a resume, should you show multiple positions to demonstrate the promotions you’ve received? Or just show the current (post-promotion) role

I’ve had several great interviews with a few diff companies. Or rather, I thought they went well but then I get the dreaded “thanks but we made the difficult decision to move forward with other candidates”. I’ve asked for feedback but so far have gotten none.

I know it’s competitive out there, but I also don’t know how I can either position myself better, seek positions that are more aligned with my expertise/experience, or work on improving certain areas.

Any advice on how to proceed?

How bad does it look to future employers for an experienced attorney (15+ years) who is pivoting into a different practice area and looking to lateral after only having been at their current/first job for 4-5 months in the new practice area? I've been told by a recruiter that it's not a deal breaker because of my experience level. But many colleagues have suggested I remain where I'm at (miserable and unappreciated - just took a $20k pay cut) for at least a year.

What’s a fair expectation for my first raise? I’m in-house at a publicly traded co with ~2500 employees. I’ve been doing litigation with the company for almost 3 yrs and have only had a 2% cost of living raise so far. Graduated in 2014. Base comp is $127.5k in the Philly area. I see salaries all over the place in this site and it’s hard to tell whether mine is competitive.
