Y’ALL. When sending cold emails re: open positions, PLEASE make sure to get details on the position (like YOE desired) correct. I wanna help you but am not gonna stick my neck out if you can’t read carefully.

If this is for recruiters I’d settle for them just getting my name right lol

One told me my experience at firm B was relevant for the job at firm C, but I worked at firm A and had never worked at firm B. Easiest way to tell they were just spam emailing everyone and not worth my time.

I have one recruiter in my specialized area who has emailed me since I was a junior addressing me as “Mr. [middle initial] [maiden name]”. I am a woman (not even a gender-neutral name) and changed my last name years ago at this point. Attention to detail is not their strong suit.

Can you add some clarification here? Are you talking about recruiters sending cold emails? Sometimes postings may indicate a firm is looking for 3-5 YOE, but the hiring partners will actually consider someone more junior or senior. Not sure if that's what you were referring to.

Thanks for adding that context. As a recruiter, I get resumes from people still in law school and people with 10+ (sometimes even 20+) YOE for mid-level roles. Some job seekers are either out of touch or willfully ignorant about what makes someone a viable candidate, and if a person is no where in the wheelhouse of what I'm looking for, I just explain the specifics and tell them I'll reach out when I'm working on something that's a better fit. I think it's okay for you to do the same in this context if someone isn't a fit and you don't have time to talk or meet.

I’d settle for recruiters sending me relevant job posts. I’m a privacy attorney and get emails for project finance, environmental, patent prosecution, M&A roles.

I’m like…ok

I think they do that so that you’ll reach out and ask and then they can submit your application to other jobs.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
