Stub Year Lateraling
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 23rd, 2014 8:12 PM Author: awkward harsh legend I'm a 3L at lower T14 in top 5% who wants to switch from LA/TX/Chi to NY because of SO moving for work. Accepted offer from 2L firm to return. I didn't end up with anything in the section I want through 3L OCI. Looking for top transactional practices in NY. I want to apply again to try and move as soon as possible. My impression is that most lateral hiring takes place in January. I was just wondering if anyone had gone through this process and had any comments in general or about these particular points:
Should i apply during the summer after the bar? Wait until I start work? Wait until after I finish my stub year and potentially until the following October/November to leave after (hopefully) the first year bonus?
How do you interview after you've started?
I would likely have to take two bars in short succession, does that raise any issues?
Does this make me look like a flight risk? In my opinion, a switch between markets to NY and based on SO moving should be acceptable.
Just posting this now on the off chance that anyone is going through this process currently and sees it. |

As best I can tell, you're just joining the pool of people without biglaw jobs, and you should treat the process as such. |

Date: November 24th, 2014 2:02 PM Author: awkward harsh legend All fair points. I appreciate the responses. I won't refer to it as lateraling. Firm's NYC office doesn't have the group I'm interested in/joining. My main question then is: when does it make sense to reapply to NYC firms that dinged me this fall?

Date: November 24th, 2014 2:09 PM Author: awkward harsh legend Yeah, without getting into details, it's more the other way around where I would have rather been in NYC to start but ended up here. That was probably stupid, but I'd rather fix it if i can and going forward I would see both NYC and being with SO as advantages.

Date: November 24th, 2014 2:08 PM Author: Excitant impertinent nibblets I would ask career services people. The move you're angling to make is virtually impossible via regular hiring so your best shot is being put in touch with someone at the firms you're interested in (i.e., your school's alum whose contact you'd get from career services) and networking the shit out of it.

Date: November 24th, 2014 2:10 PM Author: awkward harsh legend Thanks, that's what I've been thinking and I'm going to meet with them after finals. I have family and professional connections that could help as well that I'm going to reach out to and hopefully they'll have a lead.
