When should I follow up after an interview if I don’t hear back? I had an interview on Monday and the partner I interviewed with said they were going to get me set up for an interview with an associate but I haven’t heard anything from them or their assistant. Am I being ghosted lol 💔

You have to give it a week or two with no response to your follow up before you jump to the conclusion you’re being ghosted.

It’s the summer and especially if you were not interviewing for one of the ten largest big law firms, this is a somewhat normal situation. Sometime on Tuesday-Thursday next week I would consider politely following up, but I would not be worried.

I am a new (lateral) associate at a small firm where everyone currently works from the office. When I started, I wasn’t told specific firm hours. I’ve tried to figure out when to come and go based upon when the partners arrive and leave, but their schedules are very inconsistent. The other associates don’t have helpful guidance for me. Assuming that if I ask the partners they’ll say to use my discretion, what are reasonable hours to keep?

While the people are decent and the hours aren’t terrible, I detest the work and don’t see a future in this new practice. My main partner says it should end in the next month, but I don’t expect that to happen. Is it a terrible idea to ask to be taken off?
