Job seekers: if you want to connect with a current attorney at the firm to learn more, great! But perhaps don’t email every.single.one of us in a single practice group, across multiple offices? Respect the hustle but we do talk to each other and it might come across as a little intense!

There was a student at a lower tier law school with a low gpa and a messy resume (e.g., spelling mistakes and formatting issues) who recently emailed a bunch of us at like 1 am on a Sunday. I respect the hustle but not at 1 am.

That is quite unhinged.

This. Also there are referral dollars at play and it complicates things.
