Depends on how confident you feel casing, wish I had a better answer for you

It depends on your baseline on cases

Can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months but approx ~1-3 months of good practise

I’ve noticed hitting 30-35 live cases is generally a good spot for people without prior experience (and everything after is diminishing returns)

Thanks all. Im reading Case in Point by Cosentino and starting there to get a baseline. Any other resources you’d recommend?

M1 - 30-35 is higher than I expected.

General observations are that it takes about 10 for new casers to get comfortable with the structure, 20-25 to be decently good but perhaps not comprehensive or consistent, and 30-35 to reliably be covering all the bases

Of course there’s variance and it’s also highly dependent on quality of case partners, but this is based off a sample size of maybe 25-30 individual people I’ve personally cased with or mentored

It is in appropriate to ask what the compensation for a position is after a first interview if they want you to go on three more and the interviewers on my first told me that was above their pay grade to tell me?????

Seems kind of ridiculous for a business to want to waste so much time to find out after a handful of interviews that the pay isnt aligned with my needs ......

I can see in biglaw not bringing up knowing damn well if you get an offer itll likely be high, but this is a midsize

As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat.
