I had a screening interview with a tech company a couple days ago. Should I be nervous that I haven't heard back? How long should I wait before I follow up with them?

A couple days? There are probably a dozen or more people involved in the process and orgs are not that organized. Give it a week at least.

Shouldn’t be nervous but it’s also common to get screened out so I wouldn’t get excited about a job possibility unless/until you actually do a substantive interview and it goes well.

Small start will move faster than any larger company. I’ve interviewed at every size, currently interviewing at a large publicly traded company. Process is moving very slow, but I’m keeping in touch with the recruiter.

Currently in the final stages of the interviewing process for a "non-partnership track attorney" position at a top-ranked big law firm. I graduated from law school in 2019, and my eventual goal would be to work as an Associate on the partnership track at a medium-sized firm. Will this position "stain" my resume compared to staying in my current position as an attorney for an SRO?

What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken? I chose this job based on billables vs salary and what I'm being told I'm expected to do now is 20-30% (at least) > than what was initially agreed upon. Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.
