I received & accepted a job offer. But I haven't heard back from my new employer. My last day at my current job is this Friday. I was in contact with the internal recruiter from the new firm all last week, but I never got acknowledgement of them receiving my signed offer letter. My start date is contingent upon a background check. I haven't received one single form to fill out related to that. I feel like I shouldn't say anything because I've already been coming off as extra eager. Any advice?

Same thing just happened to me, I was working on a huge arbitration. It was just me and the partner... No one else. And I got a thank you! That's it. Not a oooooo you did fantastic and the way you prepared the binders with evidence will help us win the case!!!! My partner is an ass though and probably didn't even think anymore about just giving me a thanks.
Yep. I’ve been in both situations and if I have learned anything at this point it’s that I NEED that validation. I’m now working with the absolute nicest attorneys who are all young(er) women around the same age as me, 26-32ish, who are the best about a lot of praise and encouragement and it’s such a huge motivator for me. I’ve worked for a lot of attorneys I loved but gave very little praise and I can totally see a difference in my stress levels and happiness by just knowing where I stand and being given credit for hard work or a good job.
