If not prepared whatsoever for on cycle this year, is it okay to just wait until next year? Or should I give a shot this year? Don’t want to mess up and have a bad reputation with interviewers. Still only ~9 months into career for context

You should definitely wait. No need to force yourself if you don’t feel ready it’s important to recognize that and do what’s best for you.

What do you mean "bad reputation?" Have you been actively interviewing already?

I have a good feeling they will extend an offer but it’s not a slam dunk. I think I’m top 2. Company B has extended an offer but one that I’m not really considering (moving to a new city/not enough money). Do I mention this....

After reaching out to the general counsel on LinkedIn, I applied for an in-house job a month ago. I didn’t hear anything. A few days ago the general counsel reached out on LinkedIn and said she did not see my application in the mix but was hoping to and asked if I wanted to meet. I said I did apply, indicated I was interested in meeting, and asked if I could send my materials. She said yes and she would send me some times. I sent my materials and haven’t heard a thing. Any idea what is going on?
