Date: December 18th, 2023 7:39 PM Author: Soul-stirring doobsian space genital piercing I was told by a small firm's managing partner that she wants to "move forward" but there was an internal matter that needed to be resolved first, likely within the next two weeks. That was one week ago. I responded that day by asking about potential salary and she said she'd get back to me after talking to others within the firm. No follow up yet. (Again, one week ago.)
I have multiple other interviews coming up, but this firm is my dream spot. Do I risk annoying the MP by following up only one week later? Do I explain that I really want to move forward but want to know, going into the holidays, whether I need to give notice to my current employer sooner than later? I really don't enjoy my job so I'm looking for some kind of positive news before firms go silent for two weeks because of Christmas / New Years. |

 |
Date: December 18th, 2023 7:48 PM Author: Soul-stirring doobsian space genital piercing That's what I tell myself, too. If they want to hire me, they won't suddenly stop liking me if I email again.
What would you say in your follow up? |
|
Date: December 18th, 2023 7:50 PM Author: metal big step-uncle's house Wait until Thursday afternoon and send an email that says:
"Hi XXXXXXXXX.
I was just checking in before the holidays to see if you had any news about next steps.
Thanks,
YYYYYYYYY"
Do NOT deviate from this in any way and ask about anything else or wish her a happy holiday. |

|
Date: December 18th, 2023 7:56 PM Author: Soul-stirring doobsian space genital piercing Maybe I just say "checking in before I travel for the holidays"? (It's true---I'll be traveling for about a week.)
If a firm told you they wanted to "move forward" and said they'd get back to you about salary, would you stop looking elsewhere or at least slow down? |
|
Date: December 18th, 2023 7:57 PM Author: metal big step-uncle's house That works - the travelling thing.
And, fuck no. Firms lie to candidates all the time. |
|
Date: December 18th, 2023 7:58 PM Author: Soul-stirring doobsian space genital piercing Damn, OK. I was hoping to put this search to an end and maybe I put too much faith in what this firm said. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5462371&forum_id=2#47186143) |

|

"hi, i'm following up on our prior convos and seeing if the firm was able to resolve the internal matter and move forward" |
|
Date: December 18th, 2023 8:22 PM Author: Soul-stirring doobsian space genital piercing Seems cold, no?
What if I said "Do you still anticipate being able to move forward in another week?" |

Date: December 18th, 2023 11:09 PM Author: apoplectic school cafeteria If the offer seemed sincere then yes, that shouldn't be difficult for anyone.

This sounds reasonable, especially considering that it's often not so easy to disentangle from an employer in this field at the drop of a hat. Communication tends to be spotty around this time of year anyway but this seems to be a reasonable concern worth expressing |
|
Date: December 18th, 2023 10:50 PM Author: Soul-stirring doobsian space genital piercing Thanks for understanding. Do you think the potential employer should understand if I follow up only one week after our last exchange to see whether they're able to stick with the original plan (moving forward after two weeks)?

Date: December 19th, 2023 11:28 AM Author: Fragrant slippery plaza Struggling to understand what internal matter takes two weeks at a 5-attorney firm. I’d wait until closer to the end of the stated 2-week period to follow up. At a firm that small, hiring you is a big deal and you’re not being forgotten about.

|
Date: December 19th, 2023 11:36 AM Author: Fragrant slippery plaza Ok, good points. I’ve never worked somewhere that small so that is foreign to me. I was thinking “internal matter” means approvals, which group you’re formally in, etc. which don’t apply to small firms.
Good luck. I’d follow up later this week. |
