I need some in house opinion here. I’m currently a litigator working to move in house. I wanted some reference for time frame or if I’m being strung along. I applied in mid December, I was contacted early February. Went thru three rounds of interviews and they all went really well. Got into specifics like salary, package, even what office I might work from since they have so many. I didn’t hear from them thru March, sent a quick email to company talent acquisition person mid April.

In house can take much longer than law firm hiring and depending on the company may need board or executive sign off, but this seems really ridiculous. I get there were holidays and all but at this point it’s May and you started the interviews in February. Personally, I would move on as I wouldn’t want to work somewhere that’s either that disorganized or unable to make a decision.

Moving in house as a litigator is tough, I just made the transition earlier this year. Applied late October and had the offer in hand by mid/late December for some context.

AGC1 - starting in engineering but the reduced/paused/freeze on hiring will impact almost all teams per the latest reporting.

Unfortunately I think you're being strung along. In my experience, even though in-house can be disorganized and slow, if they want you, they'll make it happen quickly. Especially if you were also interviewing elsewhere and they knew it. I would move on.

Saying I’d be happy to answers any further questions, etc. she told me they had just finished interviews. I haven’t heard anything from them since. Is that a typical time frame? Should I status check again? Am I being ghosted? I’m a litigator trying to move to in house so this process seems very different as far as interviews/wait times go. Just want to know if that seems like a typical time frame or not

They like you, but still to determine if there are better candidates, or candidates that may accept a lower salary. Happened to me. Strung me along for almost 6 months. I’ll suggest you keep looking and interviewing.

In-house is slow. If you’re not a perfect fit, they may be progressing with another candidate waiting to see if they’ll do it for the same money or less. Don’t worry, second choices get hired all the time.

If you are a generalist litigator best ways to get in house would be to pivot to doing employment work or privacy work and getting counseling experience in those practice groups - then you are direct fit for those jobs in-house. Or just switch groups and do tech trans if you are young enough to pull that off.
