When looking for jobs to apply to, what is your post date limit? I've only been looking at jobs posted no more than a week ago. Is that too short?

You are currently posting as works at

I have been tracking my job search and I personally have exclusively heard back from jobs I applied to the day they were posted. I think if you wait too long it decreases your chances of having a human see your resume? I’m not sure 😬

Nada. I look at the job postings and see there are already 100s of applicants already which kinda brings my morale down.

I still apply though and have just got emails starting with “Unfortunately”.

Same here a week or less. If it’s been 3+ weeks chances are they have people interviewing and it’ll take a while until you get your chance to interview.

But it can be tricky sometimes. Some companies have posts that expire and they repost the same job that just expired.

Our hiring lead time is like 20 weeks nowadays, apply and follow up same day with hiring manager or HR to let them know you’re interested

Go with just a week out, but if it’s been more than 3 weeks apply as well. Normally if a posting is “stale” they are still looking for a great candidate. For myself, if I get bombarded with a ton of applications I’m pausing a job posting. I want to make sure everyone that applied gets an app review and answer in a timely manner.

I've been a solo for nearly 20 years and built a small firm from the ground up. Now my practice (5 lawyers plus support staff, total 13 people) is being eyed by a midsize firm. They want me to keep building what I've been doing, except with their resources behind me. It sounds like a wonderful opportunity, but I'm torn over giving up what I built.

Has anyone gone from solo (and a mildly successful solo doing super meaningful work) to a larger firm? I see a lot of posts going the other way.
