How many places did you apply to for your lateral search and how long did everything take to get offers from when you decided to start applications? How long did you have to accept offers? What did you negotiate? How long did you have before you were required to start at the new place?

Applied to 6 places, got 5 interviews and 5 offers. From application submission to first offer it was about 2.5 weeks, and all offers were in by 3.5 weeks. Accepted shortly thereafter. First offer gave me 10 business days, but recruiter said it would be easy to ask for an extension if I needed one. I negotiated a signing bonus, put in 2 weeks after I passed conflicts and got 2 weeks off.

First recruiter sent out 8 apps resulting in 1 interview, dinged morning after screener. Six weeks later, second recruiter sent out 14 apps resulting in 1 interview. Screener last Tuesday, full set of CBs last Friday, verbal offer through recruiter this morning, written offer expected mid-week. From app to verbal offer was 8 or 9 business days. Interviewed through an internal referral at another firm between recruiters and that process took 2 weeks from app to CBs, and then 2 weeks to rejection.

I went from making $70k the last 7 years to now started a new job a month ago making $130k plus $10k bonus every year, and $60k in RSUs. I have $70k in my 401k and around $50k in savings. Want to get out of the Silicon Valley which has been home my whole life and buy in TX or AZ a ~$400k house. I have about $20k in student loans which my dad has offered to pay (wants to make up for never supporting me) but I’m waiting to see what Biden decides for student loans. Is this feasible?

At what point should I be worried about my ability or inability as a lawyer? I’m a first year, but feel as though my office has very high expectations from top to bottom. Often placed on cases alone with a partner who is too busy to answer questions. Other times mid-levels sort of deflect when they don’t clearly communicate what they want done (e.g., “draft part of this brief” and gets upset when it isn’t up to snuff). Mainly, I am worried that I am failing at this and am not a good lawyer.
