Yikes.

Betsy is legit. She placed me and many I know. She is one of the few recruiters who genuinely has insider knowledge from deep relationships with recruiting teams essentially everywhere. I tested her against others recruiters while, but it quickly became apparent that any “unposted” opportunity others tried to come up with was already on her radar, so I felt comfortable going exclusive with her.

Recruiters are generally interchangeable imho

Makes sense. Guess it’s hard to figure out if it’s true whether a recruiter can truly have better relationships with firms, or if they all look the same to firms.

“Better relationship” is usually bs when it comes to biglaw firms. We can help in many ways but your credentials and experience matter most in terms of getting the interview.

2nd year assoc. here. Finding myself spending 3-5 hours researching/analyzing issues that should only take 1-3 hours. I find myself questioning - for every assignment - is this the issue I was asked to look into? Did I read that case right? Does this analysis make sense? And I end up reading the same cases over and over. Does anyone have advice for being more confident/efficient on tasks, especially research?

I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel. SP mentally checked out, to the point that co-counsel was asking what SP was doing/if SP was okay. I ended up handling most everything. SP did a few parts but went rogue and did things that were offensive/risky/bad for client. It became clear that SP is not performing like SP used to and may be a liability. Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.
