I'm an attorney in Big Four with a JD/LLM. I am looking to leave my firm but I am only taking interviews for big law. I've had a couple of them and even though nothing has completely materialized, that's the path I want to take.

I find the random people on LinkedIn who reach out to me to be incredibly annoying. Regularly, a recruiter from either a big four firm or even non-big four firms.

I almost find it insulting because they can be relentless

You need to realize that you’re trying to make a significant leap upwards by pursuing Big Law. You’ll mainly get interest from recruiters at similar firms for lateral hiring, and the occasional cheeky recruiter from a lower-ranked firm trying to punch above weight.

C1, I appreciate it. It's a grueling process going through the interviews, but I guess that's the case for any job search

Dumb question - what do attorneys at the Big Four do? I’m curious!

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
