I think it's a way generate paper trail for them to ensure they get paid for the leads

This. Likely means you’re talking to a contingency HH and not a retained one. Once you sign, they’ve tagged you as their candidate.

It happens, especially if it’s about a role that’s still occupied

Normal, but not common. They'll be doing as the client asks them.

Yes, no doubt.

Depends on the position but if it’s encumbered currently or could signal something to the market yes

Maybe not for an initial conversation, but senior hiring usually involves confidential disclosure. This shouldn't feel like a red flag.

Good morning. I am currently a senior associate in BugLaw, and I have applied to several trial attorney jobs in Chicago offices of federal agencies since the start of the pandemic.

But I haven’t received any updates on these applications in over a month. Does anyone here have any insights on these or on federal hiring generally? Thanks!

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.
