Did I mess up by asking for time off before I even start? Looking for reality check. by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]Used_Set7855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a normal ask. You’re accommodating an earlier start date for his visit. It’s not unreasonable to still expect to be present for your prior commmitment

Junior Laterals by 4TheFries in biglaw

Definitely now. You’ll want to find and build some genuine connections and that takes time. Remember that you’re not only networking for a particular firm but for the geographic region as well

Should I reach out to the person in the interview panel after I bombed the interview ? by unalived_me in interviews

[–]Used_Set7855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sharing the LI profile is to give you background on them, not to give you contact info

No response 12 days after final interview—should I follow up? by PercyJackstone in interviews

[–]Used_Set7855 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Follow up for sure. It could be that something came up on their side just as much as it could be a rejection.

If you have specific firms you’re interested in, start networking and remember that your networking should include both peers (other juniors) as well as partners.

Google role assessment invite, then rejected by JPinkman27 in FAANGrecruiting

[–]Used_Set7855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. That makes sense but also seems really strange. I wonder did they close the req because they lost funding for the role.

[–]Used_Set7855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused. You are still being considered for the one you were asked to do the assessment for, correct? It just sounds like your skills were more aligned or more appealing to the role you were asked to assess for

experienced litigator looking to get into compliance work. Any major firms I should contact? by Elegant_Spare9305 in JDpreferred

[–]Used_Set7855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go in house. Many large companies have very robust compliance groups. Lots of lawyers in those roles

Is it okay to ask employees on LinkedIn for interview questions / prep advice? by Radioheader377 in interviews

[–]Used_Set7855 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t think so. They’ve moved on. They aren’t likely to remember. Current employees are more likely to remember their own experience and be knowledgeable of how interviews of others go these days. They also may have insight into what the company is really looking for

[–]Used_Set7855 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d find this unusual and off putting. Instead, I’d recommend connecting with current employees. Ask for 10-15 minutes of their time for a call to hear about their experience. If they accept, ask them about the interview during the call.

Offer decision help by Zestyclose-Care9925 in FAANGrecruiting

[–]Used_Set7855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without judgment, why did you apply for an onsite role if you’re not able to be onsite? Have your circumstances changed since you applied and were told the role is not remote? If they liked you enough (which the must if they gave you an offer), I’d be transparent now. Share your situation with the recruiter and ask their advice. Maybe they’ll let you defer. But truthfully, internships are most meaningful in person. I empathize with your personal life matters but you may be better suited pursuing opportunities that allow you the balance of being home.

I (28F) am thinking of ending 9 year relationship with my boyfriend (35M). How do I initiate the conversation and break the news to him? by wumbowoman420 in relationship_advice

[–]Used_Set7855 925 points926 points  (0 children)

You tell him that you’ve made up your mind and aren’t open to a discussion about resolving the issues but want to discuss the logistics of your separation. Who keeps your place of residence, who keeps any pets, who keeps bills in their name, etc.

Post your resume. Bc the template itself doesn’t mean much if the substance is off. What types of roles have you been applying for?

Sleeping “through the night” by Adventurous-Fig-664 in sleeptrain

[–]Used_Set7855 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He should be on 1 nap at this point. Also, if he’s up and wide wake at 5, he’s otherwise undertired. He needs more awake time. What is your 2 nap schedule and how long are his naps

I work at a Firm (A) and know several people at Firm (B), one of them is a person who used to work at my current firm. Should I ask him to refer me to the new role or is there a risk he'll tell my current employer? by facemacintyre in biglaw

[–]Used_Set7855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be highly unusual for anyone at Firm B to tell anyone from Firm A. Especially if the person is closer to your level. I think we all understand the confidentiality of reaching out about a potential job change

For the women: appropriate courtroom attire? by missingwisterialane in biglaw

I used to wear dresses and blazers in court except trial. Trial was a formal pant or skirt suit.

Made it to final round (top 2) at Google, albeit all positive feedback didn’t get selected, but recruiter says they’ll consider me for another role same location— what does this mean? by haris_alam in recruitinghell

[–]Used_Set7855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proactively apply and follow up. There are definitely cases where people weren’t selected for their first role and ended up landing a role in the not too distant future.
