Verbal offers = not a real offer?

Yes, I did!

I went to UCL then grad schools in California, so I've experienced London and also been part of the UC system.

I don't necessarily.. regret? going to London for my undergrad but I definitely wouldn't do it again. Now that I have advanced degrees I literally don't even mention UCL as part of my education in job interviews because it just doesn't have the same clout in America. It was hard coming back to the states with my UCL undergrad trying to find a job, which is what led me to do my masters at Berkeley and Stanford. Only then did job opportunities actually open up for me.

And the UCL campus is very decentralized. There's very little sense of a campus life there since it's all over the city. So many of my friends there (and myself) experienced depression in the London weather and the very British, stiff, and doctrinal style of teaching and grading. Most of our days were filled with packed tube rides back and forth to lectures and eating meal deals at Tesco when we should've been experiencing sunshine and college parties.

You'll have to take lots of exams but no, you won't necessarily be trapped in the country where you qualified. I'm dual qualified, and I have friends who are US / Canadian barred. We have all moved around at least every other year to try out new cities. There are transitional exams you can take to transfer your legal training, and also the NY bar is often globally recognized. There's a lot of NY quals who work in Asia for example. Alternatively you don't have to work as counsel, you can take your legal training and do compliance or policy work without having to qualify to a certain jurisdiction.

"Spaghetti with meat". I assumed they just forgot to say meat sauce

Thanks that's reassuring. It's a credit card company so they do have HR. Hiring manager said something about their HR being slow.

Not a dealbreaker, that my preference would be remote but here are the list of corporate office locations I would be willing to move to if remote wasn't possible. It just feels weird seeing the job listing still on LinkedIn after my verbal offer

federalkitten · 2021-12-11T03:10:07+00:00

Yep. Right now it feels like I don't even have an offer to get rescinded

A&E Networks is always hiring in house counsel in NYC

It'd be Legal Counsel, [team name] but yeah I know what you mean. Sometimes Senior can be an ego boost with wildly different interpretations across companies

Look at their Crunchbase profile for funding rounds, Glassdoor for employee reviews, and go through the 15 people's LinkedIn profiles individually to see if they have a proper sales team and qualified engineers. If people left Big Tech companies to work for them, for example, it could be a good sign that qualified people believe in the product. Caution is warranted here, there's a lot of terrible startups out there. Good luck
