Sent a follow up email today asking for updates a week after my final interview - didn’t get a response right away… obviously I need to be more patient, but how long is too long to wait for a response to your follow up email?

I would say 3 business days. You don’t want to haunt them. If they want you they will contact you.

I’d wait a few days between emails. Sometimes they’re just moving slow which makes sense for the time of year but I’ve also had the rare company or two ghost me even at the end of the process.

Some companies move very slow but you have to wait for their response. If they respond right away, it’s usually a great sign they’re interested. Continue searching and applying for other roles.

I worked FT as a paralegal and went to law school in the evening. I recently interviewed at a small ID firm in employment law with about 9 attorneys. They asked for a writing sample. I dont have anything recent but provided what I had from last yr in a legal writing class, it was not enough for them. I became licensed this May so I dont have an array of motions to pick from. Then they asked for my undergrad transcript, at this point, I am now annoyed They are not Biglaw. Are they going overboard

I am starting a 4-months internship at a company B in January. However, I just heard from a company T that they will interview me for their full time position.

Company T is paying me way more (twice) than Company B. And I like company T more. However, they want me to start working in February if I get this position. If I end up getting the offer, I will have to quit my internship at Company B, almost immediately after I begin the internship.

Is this okay?
