Lateraled as a second yr in lit a few years ago. Submitted 2 apps through friends at other firms (referral) and 10+ through recruiters. Got 2 screeners to 2 cbs to 1 offer. Both screeners were through referrals. Made me wonder if 2nd yrs are too cheap to deserve a recruiter’s fee.
I have heard that from a few people
Tbh, I think it depends on the market and how strong it is. I’m in TX and in Dallas and Houston it’s much easier to place a 2nd year. We’ve placed a number of 2nd year Lit Associates within the past year. In Austin, you might be better off self-applying (but you might also just need to wait a year)!
