Something needs to be done about ghosting during the hiring/interview process. I had multiple interviews with a firm, was told the interviews went great from all of the partners and that I would hear back, and was ghosted. I was invited back to interview for the sixth time almost six months later and was ghosted before the interview was even scheduled. It’s a shame how these employers treat job seekers. It takes a huge toll on you. At the very least, just tell job seekers that they didn’t get it

I too have been astounded by the lack of professionalism in the recruiting process recently. I’ve had partners not show up for interviews at two different firms, with no follow up from the firm (apology, acknowledgement, or attempt to reschedule). Both where I was a few rounds in. Lots of other nonsense too with other firms that has left a very poor impression in my view. Things were never like this before. Is this the new normal in 2022? I think professionalism in the recruiting process is a great way for firms to maintain good relationships with potential recruits (including their lawyer and future lawyer friends). Not sure why firms don’t seem to pay any attention to that piece anymore.

Because they don’t have to give a shit anymore. There isn’t a scarcity of lawyers. Too many schools with accreditation and insanely large class sizes. The market is stupidly saturated so they know that no matter what they do, bodies are gonna walk in through the door and they can treat people like numbers.

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
