VPs/MDs - how far into an interview do you decide if you do/do not want to hire? I've heard that most hiring managers decided within the first five minutes, is this true?

An impression of interest is likely formed within the first 5 mins. Many will form quick impression and then find evidence to support or disconfirm their choice. But it is impossible to determine culture fit in 1.5 min or even 5mins. And it is one of the most important hiring factors that rookie hiring managers overlook. That's why I support panel and multiple interviews format for candidate selection .

How do find a recruiter in the legal field? Have been looking for a job for a year now and trying to transition into another practice area. Applied to more than 20 jobs and still no offers. I feel like I might need some help.
Also, I have no idea how these arrangements work. Do you pay the recruiter to look for the jobs or do you pay them when you get the job? Or does the employer pay them?

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that. Over the last 6 months I have had to coach him and correct simple mistakes in his work and recently it got so bad that I told him he would receive a low rating in his evaluation. He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.
