job and salary offer
“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!”

Career Services told me there was nothing I could do
“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.”
