    A few questions: Is it normal for the recruiters from law firms you've applied for to look at your profile in LinkedIn? Is that a good sign or a bad sign? 3 recruiters (I can't see who) from this firm I'm waiting to hear back from has looked at my profile, and I'm wondering why... I really...

    It's crazy to think that Perkins Coie had their application window only for about 10 days for 2 positions to fill, and I already know about 100+ people have applied for the same. Crazy. Given they don't sponsor visa yet, IDK what my chances are with them, but man this the most favourite...

    I knew you would XD But being real, I think it will help a lot of people to open up, seek comfort and get things off their chest, coz most people (like me) have nobody around to understand how excruciating or tiring this process is, and we could use a space where we don't have to put up a brave...

    Sorry to step in late, but this sounds like something an obnoxious MC/US firm lawyer would write in the Uklaw sub-reddit 😭😭😭😭... It's competitive and they're picky, yes.
