Guys I got the offer 😊
Honestly, sounds good. Maybe they are clearing potential conflicts? Also, its a holiday weekend so ppl are taking their families on vacation.
Maybe? We haven’t discussed conflicts just yet. One of the partners told me they rarely hire partners as they prefer only to hire people they know or who started as an associate or counsel there. They said personality fit is very important over legal skills so i figure if they didn’t like me they may not hire me in the end. These seem like very cool people
Pro
Partner hiring is much slower than associate hiring because there's way more politics around your offer and making sure they're not doing anything that will make other partners mad. I suspect they're just sorting things out.
Pro
If it helps, my group is hiring a lateral partner. We talked to him mid-March,everyone loved him, but we had to go through a bunch of internal conversations and approvals and didn't send him an offer until the beginning of May.

What does the recruiter say? They should be in contact with them.

Interesting. The recruiter should be affirmatively checking in, not just waiting to be contacted, so hopefully they are.
Partner decisions usually go through committee. When is the committee meeting?
No clue 😀 I didn’t even think to ask. Recruiter insinuated they’d talk to me about the compensation package at dinner, but they never did. The managing partner had an important client meeting so left halfway into my half-day long interview. How often do most hiring committees meet?
