How do i send my resume to a partner (say P1) who introduced to the partner of my current firm (say P2) for a position open at their firm? I’d love to join P1’s firm, they’re very well known in my area of practice.

I want to tell them to keep it confidential/not tell P2 i want to move, because P2 will definitely take offense. How can i do it (in a chill manner)?

Conversation first. Don’t send the resume with the first time you mention it. If you can, ask P1 to coffee since it sounds like you kind of know them. Say you want to catch up then mention you’re thinking about a move and if they have an opening. If they have an opening then further the conversation, ask about submitting a resume, and ask them to not mention it to P2 because if you do move, you’d like to be the one to tell them.

Oh, then just call them and ask them to not tell your current firm. They probably wouldn’t anyway, but just call and say you want to be the one to tell them.

It’s hard to send a resume to someone and expect them to keep it a secret from themselves.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

What kind of companies pay more than $200k base and what practice areas? Remote or Texas. I’m a new attorney between M&A and L&E, but I’m willing to switch practice areas for the best exit options in the future (4-5 yoe).

🐠 with <10 total YOE and $200k+ base. Can you highlight your role and path? Trying to identify more stable non-banking and tech roles. Thanks!
