How long did your in-house job give you before you had to start? Was able to take 6 weeks in-between both big law jobs but I don’t think that’s the norm or acceptable for in-house. Thoughts?

They wanted me to start ASAP. I pushed and got 2 weeks, but I wish I could have gotten more. They’d been down a person for awhile though, so they were desperate.

I didn’t tell them my exact last day, which helped, but I also didn’t want to push taking advantage of it. I knew I needed a little bit of time to decompress since I was burnt out, but at the end of the day getting out of a law firm and into the new job was the most important thing to me.

I got 0 work days in between, but they had held the position for me for a few months so that I could collect my year end share of firm profits.

I got one week after my notice period was up because they gave me a hard start date when they needed me there. Probably would’ve taken at least 2 if I had the choice

One job two weeks another 0. Just depends.

2 days!

I took a week but my boss was hoping to have me right after my previous last day.

I took a week and wish I had taken two. However the first few months were slow so it was fine.

They heard about spring bonuses and gave me until two weeks after I collected. Love my team for thinking ahead.

0 days
