So I had a full interview for a level above at the end of Jan. The hiring manager said they were interviewing 2 candidates in the next 2 weeks. I just got an email saying they’re interviewing 2 candidates soon (it’s already been 2 weeks!) so they will let me know decision end of Feb. This hiring has taken forever… is it good that they messaged me? Or is it bad because they don’t think I’m quite good enough so they are continue to interview? Do I still have a chance?!!!

That waiting game is brutal. The fact they reached out at all is actually a good sign. It usually means you are still very much in the mix, not written off. Hiring timelines slip all the time, especially for higher roles. It does not scream no, it screams slow process. Unfortunately, yes, you still have a real chance and the patience part is the hardest.

I wouldn't assume it has anything to do with you. Sometimes they have to interview people in a certain structured way just because that's how the system is set up. I would take it as a good thing and not overthink it.

Keep job hunting as you wait

I would honestly appreciate that. They reached out to me to let me know a realistic timeframe. I definitely keep searching, but the fact that they reached out to you means that you are a viable candidate for the position.

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company. The position is pretty much generalist, but I get the impression I'd be working mostly on SaaS and partnership transactions. I definitely think I would like the transactional work better, but I am concerned about the long-term earning potential vs. partnership. How common is it to eventually make $400k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!
