Would love some insights on the typical timeline between final round of meetings and offer for a counsel/NEP role in Big Law. I was told about a week ago that an offer was in development. Not necessarily expecting that I would have heard back just yet since I'm assuming the approval process takes some time, but more wanting to get a gut check on what is reasonable.

A few weeks is reasonable

My firm took 3 weeks to make me a lateral associate offer last summer. Firms have been moving slower than usual from what I hear.

Why do recruiters never tell you which agency they want to talk to you about until they get you on the phone? I don’t want to waste anyone’s time and it would be helpful to know this info from the initial outreach. My experience with this only applies to healthcare, but would imagine it’s the same in consumer as well. Anyone?
