Serious question... how did legal recruiting become a thing attorneys roll their eyes at, yet recruiter emails keep multiplying nonstop?? 🤣
We asked the same question and built the answer: byebyerecruiters.com
Recruiters can take 25-50% of a first-year salary per placement, while many firms already offer huge referral bonuses. We thought... why not let lawyers benefit from that instead?
It's a fun, anonymous referral platform with direct links to law firms. See the site for yourself. We would love your feedback!

Thanks in advance

What’s a good answer to what’s your biggest failure? And to when did you give up on something - what was the outcome?

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Are there any pharmacists here who transitioned out of retail?

Does anyone have leads for a recent MPH Epidemiology grad with 0-2 YOE to get into consultant roles in Healthcare/life sciences?

Second question: what sort of work experiences are companies like flatiron and komodo health looking for to work in RWE/heor? I'm not sure how to leverage Epidemiology to get into that space :(

Any MedStar Rehab PT employees here? Just had a chat with one of the recruiters, looking to know more about the company, etc. Any input appreciated.

I am concerned with fulfilling billable hours requirement. I’m required to hit 2100 hours yearly and I’m at ~1,500 hours and I think I’ll hit 150-180hours this month. What will happen if I don’t hit my targeted amount by the end of my year.

Does anyone work in a very volume based area of law (i.e. insurance defense, workers comp) but have partners who are perfectionists to an absurd degree? How do you manage to get your billing in when everything always has to be revised?

I found out a soon to be 2nd year associate got a 10k raise making his salary 110k now, while I, the soon to be 3rd year associate got a 2k raise making my salary 107k. So now the 2nd year male associate is making more money than me. How do I bring this up to the partners?

When lateraling to another defense firm, is it necessary to show billable hours at current firm?

I have an interview at a firm that focuses on criminal defense. I currently work in ID and have years of previous PD experience. I’ve never worked in private criminal defense. What questions should I ask in the interview? What should be looking at to evaluate whether it is a good practice?

Anyone know anything about Kauffman borgees or Traub Lieberman? Reputations, working there, etc?

I went through all the stages of interviewing with a firm then they chose not to fill the position. They said internal priorities changed. I saw about 5 months later they posted a similar position. Guess who has another interview!

I'm a long time prosecutor getting into the ID game and billable hours. Are there any resources out there that can help me get more effective/efficient without spending months/years learning the hard way? Some days I'm at the office 10 hours, took virtually no breaks and yet only bill 7. 🤬

Enviro/ natural resource lawyers— what’s your dream job?

Hi new here. Idk what my value is and if I’m getting paid an amount that reflects my hard work. I am a paralegal for a small law firm (family and immigration) w only 1 attorney. I have about 20 files or more in my rotation at a time. I work on various types of cases at once. Some are simple, others are extensive. I feel like it’s very unstructured and one of the managers micromanages. It’s like every man for himself. Take home pay is $50k. I am working on my bachelors deg. Do I get paid enough?

Does anyone know sports arbitration or general arbitration well? Have been a figure skating fan my entire life and am curious whether the judgement of recent Valieva case makes sense to you.

Any thoughts on Phillips Lytle? If you could please provide insight on culture/billable requirements? Thank you.

Well I learned my lesson. Never work with Wells Fargo. Any good banks I should switch to?

Any non-US lawyers who have been hired by an Am100 firm without having sat the bar? Looking for an opportunity in the US, if possible DC or NYC, and currently working for Big Law in Europe.

Would like some tips re hiring process + visa from those who have succeeded. Looking for a 1-2 year stay and open for longer term

I want to get out of ID so badly. I don’t mind the work but the hours are just killing me. I just started at a new firm less than 6 months ago and I am already desperate to get out. It is not the firm or the people. I just hate the high billables. I have been applying to other jobs but I think I may need a recruiter for help. Any recommendation for a great recruiter in NYC?
