I have an offer at Jackson Lewis but always wanted Littler. I met several Littler partners recently who expressed helping me with introductions. Thing is… I don’t want to pass up JL and the chance to ESCAPE my current firm where there is no future for advancement (5 senior associates ahead of me) waiting on “maybe Littler will happen.” Would you accept JL offer or wait for Littler introductions?

The Littler thing can take time. You’re on a sinking ship and don’t have the luxury of waiting things out

Both firms are too small to matter

I would accept JL and apply to Littler when a role opens in your location. You might even find JL is a good fit for you. I wouldn’t worry about job hopping from one Big4 to another. People do that all the time.

Thank you.

I think it depends on the city. Some are hiring a lot more frequently

Hi, I had finished my technical and managerial round on May 25th and 26th with PWC. The manager did mention that there would be another in-person round in the PWC Bangalore office. Although the first 2 rounds went well, there has been no further response from HR. Is this a normal delay or should I think I didn't make it. Any thoughts?

Do I tell her my timeline is now a month, or is telling them I'm getting fired going to tank my chances of getting the job?

What is considered a “large” caseload in employment litigation? I work at a large L&E boutique law firm and handling about 14-15 active litigation cases in state/federal court or arbitration. Some of these matters are multi-plaintiff and multi-defendant cases, but none are class actions. This does not include any matters I am handling in the charge stage or in pre-litigation. Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?
