I've seen a lot of posts on this page asking about openings. Just a friendly suggestion: include location, year range, practice area, and something that describes your firm (even just AmLaw firm, top boutique, or local firm). This information is asked for in every comment and will get rid of a lot of useless responses.

Hi. I am a Transition teacher in California. I would like to know what is the ratio of students to staff for community outings in your districts? I have been teaching in my district for 20+ years and it has always been 4:1 ratio for our moderate/severe transition classes.

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?

Will those firms who have been successful managing through the pandemic and keeping people engaged and connected increase retention (crisis reveals character), particularly among the partner ranks leading to less lateral partner movement in 2021, or will the beginning of the post acute pandemic economy create more movement due to those who were dissatisfied pre pandemic and hunkered down this year?

I am in the final steps of the interview process for an in-house position. I mentioned to the recruiter that I had unvested equity I would be leaving on the table. She said the company would take this into account and make me whole. She later asked for proof of the equity in the form of my account statement and balance, which I provided. I have not yet received an offer. Is it typical for companies to ask for this documentation if they don't intend to make the candidate an offer?

I've been told by a recruiter that it's not a deal breaker because of my experience level. But many colleagues have suggested I remain where I'm at (miserable and unappreciated - just took a $20k pay cut) for at least a year.

A recruiter contacted me for a position I love. She says I’m a good match and will put my resume and cover letter into the “portal”….-What does that mean?

How hard is it being a legal recruiter? What skills do you need? What does compensation look like? Given the market being so hot and so many legal recruiter emails hitting associates' inboxes everyday, is the field too saturated?

Here is my issue. I left my firm this summer for an opportunity I should have known was to good to be true. I realized it wasn’t what I was led to believe. Was able to return to my old firm. The return was “a favor”. But includes conditions. I am not happy, and need a change and honestly more money now rather than in 6-8 months. I knew it would be ruff when I went back but I didn’t expect it to be this ruff. Is my recent history gonna be a huge hurdle to even get an interview?
