Had a friend get an offer (not the best reputation in my area but more money than what they’re making now) and they tried to negotiate and get clarification on benefits and they rescinded their offer…. It’s rough out there

Same thing happened to me. If the salary isn’t negotiable just say so. They led me to believe that they were considering it. After several days of evading me they told me they decided not to fill the position. The job was posted again 3 weeks later.

One firm told me they can pay an incredibly high number salary when approached me in July. I asked recruiter to confirm the salary because that firm is not famous for being generous on paying staff good. The paralegal manager reached out to me personally to explain how desperate the firm is. I agreed to interview with them but didn’t hear back till end of September. During those two months, that firm was trying to interview every single candidate requests 100K - (I have a friend works at that firm told me). I followed up and the para manager told me “we are moving slow now because of summer break.”Unfortunately, they couldn’t find anyone. Later, they reached out to me again and lied to me say “you are on top of our list and we want to interview you ASAP.” I rejected them. Firms always want to play the game so they can pay as less as they can.

How do find a recruiter in the legal field? Have been looking for a job for a year now and trying to transition into another practice area. Applied to more than 20 jobs and still no offers. I feel like I might need some help.
Also, I have no idea how these arrangements work. Do you pay the recruiter to look for the jobs or do you pay them when you get the job? Or does the employer pay them?

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k.

Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
