It's kind of weird how unstructured law firm interviews are, when the hires are pretty consequential

Completed Google on-site around 2 weeks ago. Yesterday the recruiter reached out to me saying she has ‘updates’ and wanted to connect today. I sent her some slots to connect and she did not reply. When I reached out today, she said she is overwhelmed with work and wants to connect after the long weekend. I have no option but to wait for 4 days now.
What do you guys think the reason for this delay could be? Is recruiter purposely buying time? Or she could truly be overwhelmed? Thoughts?

I recently had a interview for an in house insurance counsel role. Recruiter told me counsel is expected to bill hours (1900+ per year). The company uses billing to measure productivity. WTF!

Has anyone had issues with hiring department? I applied to a IT position, passed the interview and they gave me a start date and salary. I was very happy and can’t wait to start but then… my recruiter told me that we have to delay the start date because my badge has not been created yet. Then it has been 4 weeks later and they say they are very sorry for the wait and they increased my pay up significantly to help compensate for the lost days. But idk what to do.. should I stay or look elsewhere

Honest question: why are YOE so important? I mean I have interviewed a guy who supposedly had 20+ years of experience but he was sooo bad during the interview. Same thing with people flashing their certifications. Know people getting certified after having exam dumps but knowing almost nothing about the subject.

I worked for 25+ years for Midtowne Spa Denver. I was the GM. The Trust who owned the building decided they wanted to sell it. Did I mention it was a Gay Men’s Spa.

I ran every facet of that job for the 25 yrs. From hiring to firing, training new staff, creating events, set pricing, purchasing all supplies. Designing areas to remodel and working with the contractors. My problem is the recruiter or HR I Interview with doesn’t seem to think it was a real job. Any feedback?

I interviewed for a Senior RA (life science) position in a mid-large sized company in Westchester county in NY. I am making a move from academia to industry with 4 years plus experience and several publications. But I do not have an idea as to how What salary range should I aim for? What factors should I take into consideration?

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. I had 10 slots to choose from. I took the first slot available. Three were one day earlier this week and the rest are next week. Does it look good (or desperate, lol) on my part that I took the first time or should I have waited until next week so that I would be fresher on their minds when choosing a candidate? Also, do interviewers still appreciate a handwritten note after an interview?

Hi everyone !

I am trying to relocate in London, as a Legal Counsel in Privacy.

The opportunities there seems more interesting in terms of missions and financially. I had interviews for companies but one obstacle keeps coming up: I am not a qualified lawyer because is it not necessary to be one when you’re an in house in France.

I do have 2,5 years of experience as a Legal Counsel in Privacy and strong referrals.

Do you maybe have any tips to help me :) ?

Many thanks!

How can I gracefully get out of an interview without burning bridge? Thought I was interviewing with 1 person and would be good practice. Turns out it’s 5 people for 4hrs. Not sure if it’s worth it...

Hello Tram, Hope all are doing great!
I already submitted my resume and application to American Express and was curious about whether you are in contact with your company’s hiring team. If so, it would be a tremendous help if you were able to refer me for the Customer Service position. I’m confident that your referral would go a long way toward helping me land the interview I need to get the job. Need assistance.

I'm dealing with a local government agency. I have a decision approved or Denied sent by email but the basis of that decision is being snail mailed. It's driving me crazy. Now I have way less time to write an appeal then if they just sent it by email.

Pros/cons of moving from PI defense to plaintiff side?

Sorry to xpost: would you take a 20k pay cut to move to a HCOL city for a job you think you might like and enjoy? (In-house) I thought I would be staying in my current city for the long term and love it here, but hate my job. New city also has friends and connections, so I wouldn’t be totally alone. Would be going from around 140k to 120k.
