What’s the general timeline from receiving an offer to starting work? What does that process typically involve? I understand there’s a background check, but do you also conduct a conflict check for in-house role?

No conflicts check. When you receive your offer the recruiter will discuss potential start dates. They are flexible and will depend on your need to give notice at your existing job, specific days when the company has onboarding sessions, and yours and their preference. Sometimes they want you asap, sometimes you want to delay.

Background check is typically completed after you receive your offer and will only delay a start date if for some reason the service has trouble validating your info.

You should ask for the date that works best for you.

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.
