Date: April 17th, 2015 3:38 PM Author: Henna aromatic area internal respiration i don't like waiting. i just want them to give me the job.
their internal recruiter wrote and said they'd "be in touch soon." what the fuck is that supposed to mean. also she didn't give any feedback about how the interview went. I've never been dinged through the lateral process - do you usually get a letter or does the head of the firm call you up and tell you suck? somewhere in between? |

Date: April 17th, 2015 3:40 PM Author: Charcoal institution milk I interviewed twice and both times in about a week/ week in half got a call from head partner of group offering me the job.
Think of it on their end..yea they need help but are running cases and stuff and they prob decided -yea we will hire him. Need the committee to approve, which may only meet once a month ....you may not be on their immediate radar |

Date: April 17th, 2015 3:47 PM Author: Henna aromatic area internal respiration like i said below the last time i lateralled everything happened fast so when I hadn't heard anything by wednesday i started to become pretty sure i was your done here'd. i mean it's definitely possible that they just haven't gotten to it. i know one of the partners was heading out on vacation this week. but still, you'd think if it went well that at least their internal recruiter would say "everyone enjoyed meeting with you" blah blah. but she didn't say that.
on the other hand, if i bombed it it wouldn't be hard for them to send the ding! fag email and have it be done with. on the third hand the person who sends ding! fag emails may have just not gotten around to doing it and because there's nothing pressing about it she puts it very low on her to do list. |

Date: April 17th, 2015 3:41 PM Author: Umber Trip Office Fat Ankles In my experience both interviewing and hiring, it takes a lot longer to hear back on lateral callbacks. Often they will schedule interviews with multiple candidates and pick one and there aren't regular hiring committee meetings when it's not recruiting season so it can take some time for a hire to be signed off on.
Give it at least a month before you get nervous. |

I actually lateraled once before this and pretty much got the offer on the spot but it was kind of a unique situation and I understand that's pretty rare in biglaw. nevertheless i guess I'm spoiled because of it. |

Date: April 17th, 2015 3:44 PM Author: avocado cerebral trust fund Everyone talks about hiring committees, etc., but I've been dinged and received lateral offers from many firms and the good news has never taken more than a week.

Date: April 17th, 2015 3:49 PM Author: Henna aromatic area internal respiration how long did the bad news take? oh and anecdotally a bro of mine got an offer two f'ing months after his interview. |

Date: April 17th, 2015 5:16 PM Author: avocado cerebral trust fund Bad news usually came 1-2 weeks, maybe more toward the end of that time frame. I suspect the partners say no relatively quickly and then the admins take their time sending out letter. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2857465&forum_id=2#27709240) |
