A week

Oh so super short wow

I waited about two weeks once to get positive news. I had started to wonder if I'd been forgotten, and when I got a call telling me they were extending an offer I was surprised. From what I've been hearing, it seems like a lot of companies take forever to notify people these days.

Yea seems to be the trend which sucks cause I get so anxious between that time

I also waited three months. In my case, it was for a government role, and they were on a hiring freeze. I knew an offer letter was coming, but it was still a long wait.

Oh wow very lucky to be hired in those circumstances

I've had the reverse experience about 30 years ago. I attended an interview, undertook several tests for the position and was told that I had passed at the higher level. After a short discussion I was given the job on the spot. The interviewer even asked me which department I would like to start in and we agreed that my choice was a wise one. Since the new job would involve moving to the other end of the country, I put my house on the market, started looking for somewhere else to live, and started packing. I was on a fixed-term contract so I didn't need to give notice. However, a month or so later, I received a letter thanking me for going to the interview but regretting that I had not got the position. I never did manage to find out what had happened.

Omg that is insane!! So sorry for that experience

NFW- I just had a good laugh.

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.
