Laid off from a v100. Using both a recruiter and my network to find next role. Met with a partner at another firm (also biglaw) for an informational interview and while they didn't have a posted opening they expressed interest and liked my background/resume/deal sheet. They have called my references but said they need to get approval for any additions. Anyone experienced something similar? How likely are hiring committees to approve such a request?

Checked references?

I should have said they called a reference I provided.

Hope you all are having a great weekend. Just wanted to share a tip for all of those who are looking to connect with former employees - there is a filter function at Linkedin which allows you to do so (and you can combine that with the filter on location - then you can almost always find at least 2-3 people you can reach out to and ask about the firm and practice group you are thinking of lateralling).

Feel free to share any other tip with the fellow fishes!
