Submitted a conflicts check with ~70 matters, mostly transactional with a couple of bankruptcies (one I know is adverse to a new firm client), on Tuesday.

I am now losing my mind waiting. Is it bad to check in next week with the recruiting folks? Any sense how long this should take? I see wildly different timelines online…

You shouldn't be worried till it's at least 2 weeks. Less than that is considered quick.

I was in your shoes year ago, with a similarly large list. Took months for my conflicts to clear. Don’t slack at your current job and just keep plugging away as normal. Don’t burn bridges.

Nothing helpful to add, just that I’m also in the same boat and desperately hoping I get the all clear soon.

In the same position, not much to do but wait. I check in with the conflicts folks regularly, but for the adverse stuff (which has taken the bulk of the time to process, everything else took only 2 days) they really can’t say much more than the client hasn’t gotten back yet.

Agreed with R1. Wait 2 weeks until check-in.

Stub year in a free market firm frustrated about hours. Everyone was complaining about being slow last month, but it seems most passed 100 hours and I only got 60. I’ve been doing everything mgmt says to do but I’m making no progress in getting work. I can’t help but think I don’t fit in here and people don’t like me - especially because I went to a lower-ranked school, grew up poor, and am neurodivergent so networking is hard for me. Whole system feels very nepotistic. I just want to give up.
