Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate.

Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
