Hey everyone! Recently, I graduated college and trying to branch out into the legal field after my studies. I can’t seem to find any entry level jobs here in Glassdoor. Are my search keywords wrong? Or is there a lack of them on this app? Just trying to break into the field of law.

What kind of job you are applying for

Did you try LinkedIn

Don’t rule out stuff like file clerk, runner, receptionist, etc. - sometimes it’s just a matter of getting your foot in the door. My first paralegal job (pre-law degree) I was hired to write content for the firm website, and I convinced the firm owner to train me as a paralegal.

Hi, been stuck in the contract analysis/review cycle. I have asked a few recruiters how to make a lateral move into in-house.

I am in the final steps of the interview process for an in-house position. I mentioned to the recruiter that I had unvested equity I would be leaving on the table. She said the company would take this into account and make me whole. She later asked for proof of the equity in the form of my account statement and balance, which I provided. I have not yet received an offer. Is it typical for companies to ask for this documentation if they don't intend to make the candidate an offer?
