“​Hi Shauna, [AmLaw 100 law firm] called me with a job and salary offer not long after you and I spoke. They offered $120k + $20k bonus, and said there is some room to negotiate. I told them I needed some time to think about it, and they had no problem with that. One of the partners kindly offered to put me in touch with a few of their associates to get some perspective, so I’ll be speaking with them tomorrow. I also discovered that a former [government] colleague went to work for [the same law firm] for a year, so I’m hoping she’ll respond to my LinkedIn message and give me some insight over the weekend. I’ll keep you posted on my decision. Thank you as always!”

“This much a better plan than what I had before! When I talked to Career Services, they basically told me there was nothing I could do to look for a job while I wait for the bar exam results. But you’ve already outlined a lot of logical things I could be doing to be a better candidate and look for a job. And that makes so much more sense to me, because doing nothing but sitting around makes *no* sense.”
