Happy Monday! I cleared multiple rounds for a PM role and am currently in the team match phase. My recruiter left on maternity leave and handed over to another recruiter. The new recruiter is refusing to get on a call with me stating very frivolous reasons such as they could not read my email request as it went to spam etc. Its been over two weeks and they haven’t contacted me since. Should I be worried? Who do I talk to that can help move my candidacy?

Is management consulting just an elaborate welfare scheme for rich people? I’ve seen dozens of decks and I can’t find any tangible value that is actually provided. And kids are getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars out of college with no experience. What am I missing?

Is Elon Musk's image finally breaking apart?

I was just told at my review that the firm is assigning me a “coach.” Is this a message that they are going to let me go if I don’t reach the goal that they have for me? I was afraid to ask more questions in my meeting.

First-year in a corporate specialist group (think eceb, tax, etc.). The training, mentoring, etc. has been basically non-existent compared to what my peers in the bigger corporate practices have and I feel like I'm not learning how to be a good lawyer. I've tried asking questions and showing that I'm engaged with the work but it hasn't helped. Apparently this group has an established reputation for not being the best at training so I don't think this is just a "me" problem. Cont'd...

If you had enough saved to pay off your loans and live rent and mortgage free now, and have no kids and likely won’t for at least another two years, would you take a break from law? I kind of want to try a career switch but it’s so easy to stay in what’s comfortable. Especially when your base salary is big bucks.

Do any other juniors feel like they’re stuck in a game of ever-moving goalposts? I have a mid level who will give me an assignment, and will send an exemplar of their own work on an identical assignment. I use that to format my work and get told the formatting is wrong for xyz reasons.
I’ll do a research question and come back with an answer supported by research. I get told “why didn’t you think of xyz.” I’m sorry, I’ve been a lawyer less than a year, how am I supposed to know on my first go?
