Have any one had a prior experience as an HOA Attorney? I am in the final interview process with an HOA focused law firm and I wanted to know the Pros and Cons? Please any thoughts would be appreciated. That will be my first year associate job out of law school, if they will hire me.

I’ve done some work as an Hoa attorney at a prior job. I think there’s good and bad. It can be interesting but can also be really annoying. I remember attending evening board meetings. Some of the issues an HoA deals with feel so petty and meaningless. Some people were never meant to live in an hoa. So there can be a lot of tension and headache. I had a case go to trial about a hot tub gazebo. But … you can also get into some interesting issues involving things like easements. So there can be a good variety of work.

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?
