Had a recruiter reach out a few weeks ago about an exit opportunity and had a phone call and sent resume, I’ve sent a follow up email and LinkedIn message (initial contact made there) and have heard nothing back, should I reach out again?

Oh, if it was an external HH then yea they’re just mining resumes. It’s fine to chat bc sometimes it does lead somewhere, but I wouldn’t get any hopes up until you are actually in front of the client. Also, don’t share with them where you’ve applied or “companies you’re interested in” - they use that information to go after those companies as clients, but not with you in mind.

I interviewed with a company and haven’t heard anything back smh. Idk what’s going on with these recruiters/companies these days.

No, if you’ve already reached out - via 2 channels too - let it lie. If they’re going to respond, they’ll respond. Only thing you can accomplish by continuing to reach out is to come across as desperate.

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer.

I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?
