I practiced corporate law in London for four years before moving to the US and completing a specialized tax LLM at NYU. Now that I’m hitting the job market here, recruiters seem utterly baffled by my resume. I’m getting wildly inconsistent salary offers. How do I force recruiters to value my foreign practice years instead of treating me like a domestic 2026 law school grad?

Hi, I am looking to add a lateral practice group, got burned by a recruiter recently. What should I be looking for

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
