What's the best plan of action when a tier 2 firm ghosts you after a flawless case interview? Plus, the firm reached out looking to hire a niche role.

Sorry think I'm missing the joke here.. someone care to explain? 😛

Who told you it was flawless?

Sounds like the interviewer needs coaching. Nothing personal towards you, but it's just not good to give an impression to an interviewee that they got the role unless the interviewer is the sole approver of the role. Have you reached out to them?

Apply to a tier 1 firm?

Follow up, but assume they may no longer be interested. Also, firms are more likely to hire niche roles when they have a niche project need coming through the pipeline. But if that proposal is lost, they nay no longer need those niche skills. As such, you interview may have been flawless, but they may no longer need your skills.

Maybe your not aesthetically presentable to the potential clients?

Sometimes we have limited partner round slots. I’ve had times when I wanted to put 6 people through and had to pick 4.

At ACN, it took ages for new hires in my group to go from interview to offer. Part of the issue was the ridiculous number of people who needed to approve new hires, but also we needed to a sold role for that person to start in. It was pretty common for it to take weeks for an offer to be extended.

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.

It may seem obvious, but in my experience partners value trial experience over anything else, so get it however you can. For example, my firm will favor a former prosecutor who has seen the courtroom a lot but has no civil litigation experience (not even a depo) over a seasoned associate who has only second chaired cases with a partner but hasn’t tried a case. Even trying a case and losing gives you credibility at my firm because you still did it.

If anybody can help even with an Internship position at their firm that would be a great starter to his career.
