Normally there's a written offer between verbal and background check

That is very strange. I'm not sure what to think. Especially if the recruiter has gone cold for a week or more

Yeah that's what I expected too, but the recruiter just said I got the offer, initiated a background check, and then stopped replying to me for several days. I've sent 3 emails...

Recruiter takes PTO?

Did you provide sensitive information with your background check like SSN? Could be a scam...

Yea took 3 weeks to get my written from IBM

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

Hi. I’m in need of advice and encouragement. I’m currently working as a public defender(2nd year) but I would love to pursue a solo private practice. I would like to leave the public defender because I am ready to make more money and I am no longer feeling the fulfillment I once felt. I have a family and work-life balance is a priority. What is a good way to gain experience in other areas of law as a solo practitioner? What areas of law are best for maintaining a work-life balance?
