Recruiters genuinely are SO annoying. If you call my work mobile, I don’t answer, don’t call the damn reception and ask to be handed to me. Does this actually work with anyone? Because it’s an instant hangup and note to NEVER use that recruiter ever

3/5 moves in my career started as recruiter calls.

My desk is a cold-call only desk. Reason for that is we develop long-term relationships. We understand that a career move is going to happen on your timeline, not ours. So our goal is to be the recruiter you check in with every 3 months so that when the time comes 3 years from now, the trust is there. That type of deep relationship building only happens with a phone call as the first step.

All I know is I’ve built one of the top recruiting shops in NYC. We work with the best of the best candidates at the best of the best firms. While it may not work for you, there are many candidates who appreciate our approach. As they say, different strokes for different folks.

That said - calling your mobile is a crappy move. Call the landline, leave a vm if needed and follow up with an email.

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

How can I sell my 2 years of clerkship as valuable experience for corporate work? I would like to get credit for at least one year (at least in salary, if I can’t in seniority).

However, I don’t want to feel like I wasted 2 years clerking (which I don’t feel like that, but I have to convince an employer of that too). Any help or insight?

Junior Associates - How much student loan debt are you and your peers in these days? A few young partners and counsel at my firm were discussing the student loan moratorium and most of us were convinced we could have paid the majority of our loans off with the bonuses associates got these last two years. But we are all old and when we graduated 150k to 200k was about the max student loan debt people graduated with. So educate me. What is the average student loan debt these days?
