It was quick for me, but I’m a 4th year and I applied to 4 places and only received any interest (which turned into offer) from one of those. The others I wasn’t even invited for screener interview.

It was an opportunistic hire so I think it just took time to get everyone’s approval? My final round interviews were 4 weeks ago.

This will vary by firm and role.

There may be another candidate they’re interested in.

Additional Posts in Big Law

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

Big law literally saved my life. I was working for the government and being sued by creditors and in a deep, dark place. I wasn't even able to afford my Ube transfer application on my own. I've been at my firm for 3 years now and my life has completely changed. I was so close to declaring bankruptcy it's not even funny. I understand why people rag on it but some of us would be in a really bad place if we weren't here

Mid 2020, I turned down an opportunity to jump ship from my small law firm to a big law firm. At the time I had 4 years of practice under my belt with managerial experience. I thought the offer was reasonable, come in at a 2nd year level, but with the uncertainty of the times I played it safe. Now I regret it. What avenues do I have, if any, to jump into big law from a small firm?

Want some sort of work life balance and wondering if the “lower ranked” big law firms offer this? Could just be my fantasy though…
