I’d follow the recruiter rule and say a year. So much can change in that time to entice you to accept an offer this time around, depending on how you declined their offer in the past.

Why did you decline? And what has changed this time around?

It was a little over a year ago. I got similar offerers from two agencies I really liked and went with the one I thought would be a better fit for me. I was wrong.

Now I'm looking again and I'm wondering if it's worth reaching out to the other place again in my search. I declined the offer politely and things were amicable I felt.

I think if they made you an offer before they’d remember you fondly.
Just write the recruiter and let them know you chose wrong and would like another shot to work with them. No need to wait either!

Can they pull the offer due to this? Should I tell them before we advance further?

Need advice on a specific question!
Interviewed with Chicago court 2 weeks ago; they decide mid-August. Interviewed with DC judge last week; hear from him by this Friday. Chicago said if I need an answer before August, they'd try to make a decision about me sooner.
Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?

The positives are, I’m actually getting interviews- about 5 so far, I get to the later/last rounds but can’t seem to close the deal. I’ve tried learning from each experience, and taking that as growth for the next interview but it hasn’t worked.
