I have an interview for in-house opportunity that I really want. I'm Class 2020, and currently employed by a big law firm, but was held back for a year due to low billable hours earlier this year. Do I need to disclose hold-back if they ask my class year? Will my actual class year shown in the background check?

Ive interviewed for a handful of IHC jobs and had multiple offers. No one asked this and I would not disclose.

I don’t think they will know that as it’s primarily an internal marker for partnership consideration and comp. I would just skirt the answer though and say your graduation year.

Thank you! This is helpful.

Nope

Don’t lie if asked but you don’t need to disclose. I think it’s highly unlikely you’ll be asked. Have a good answer ready for why you weren’t busy that year just in case.

In-House does not care about what year associate you are. That is a law firm thing and the first thing you will realize once you go In-House. All the stuff you worried about at a law firm, is completely different In-House.

They dgaf about class year lol and I wouldn’t offer it

Never, ever lie. But I do not expect this to come up.

Your class year is when you graduated. Why would anyone even ask? Don't walk into interviews feeling lesser. Your compensation growth is going to be slow once you join the company. Get all you can from the beginning.

Any googlers that can offer a perspective? Cleared all interviews for TPM. No HC review yet, as the recruiter says the new process is to find a match before HC. Had conversations with 3-4 teams so far, many times great feedback/compliments even during the team matching chat, but no successful match yet. I am told that there were internal candidates that fit the role better. The wait on since May, starting to lose hope now. Is team matching supposed to be this hard?

So I recently interviewed for an associate PM role with my current company. I’ve been a store manager with them for 11 years. During the interviews, I felt like things were growing great and the feedback I got at the end was great. You’d think given my time knowing the product/ company for so long, that I’d be a great fit but I got rejected and haven’t gotten feedback probably will get ghosted. Should I shoot my shot and advocate for myself with the hiring manager either way?
