Hello! I’m a former federal law clerk (district and COA) currently working in big law in the DC/NoVA area. I’m looking to transition to a boutique firm where there is more high impact litigation (trial or appellate- although I prefer appellate). My current firm promised white collar and federal litigation and in-court experience when I interviewed but never delivered. I’m interested in Clement & Murphy or similar. What are the billables & pay? How does one get their foot in the door?

Me: 4.5 years in audit, Big 4, interviewed and accepted an offer in industry. You can let me know if your background differs and I can help tailor my responses to you.

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

I had an initial interview on Wednesday. About an hour later, I got a call from an internal recruiter from the same company wanting to follow up and see how the interview went. I didn’t see the voicemail until the following morning when I was at work and called her back that afternoon when I was out of work. I still haven’t heard from her. Is this normal? Should I not try calling back again? I’ve been at my job for several years, so I am unfamiliar with how I should handle a situation like this.

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc that’s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?
