Ok so I have an interview tomorrow and I’m absolutely terrified; this has been a different experience all around for me; example- sales role in a furniture store (I had experience in both sales and furniture) the company did a phone interview and then sent an email asking for 3 references; they called them the next day! In my experience references were always called after ?

Some places call references a little earlier on but it’s usually when they’re highly considering that candidate (to hire).

Thanks I had a three hour long interview with them ; and then the next day for an email saying it wants too meet the other qualified applicants as well; how do I take that ?

It’s not uncommon for them to check references upfront. They must be pretty impressed with you if they did check references. So I would think that’s a good sign. Good luck to you though. Be sure to come back and let us know if you got the job.

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.

I am a mid level and have received an offer from a regional big law firm in a non-market paying location. I believe the firm would be a great fit and the location is where I want to be. The biggest issue is money. I’d be lateraling from full cravath in a major market and the initial offer I received is a bit off that (read: 50% salary reduction). While the market is cheaper in some respects, housing is not. How far can I expect this firm to go to in terms of compensation? Any negotiation tips?

How concerned are you about inflation? We have 70% savings rate and 50% of our expenses are housing / utilities of which the largest part is rent which is a fixed contract (no CPI escalation, no automatic increases, paying same rent for 4 years). No car as we are living in a large city. So if I look at the components of CPI and what’s rising I am feeling pretty „good“ about it. The one thing I am „worried“ is asset inflation but obviously that benefits me directly. What am I missing?
