Location: Houston
Sign on: $30,000
When I first connected with this candidate, she was eager for a new challenge, and after reviewing her impressive background, we set our sights on an AmLaw20 firm with a strong Healthcare practice in Houston. Initially, she was excited about the prospect of making a move, but as the weeks passed without hearing back her enthusiasm began to wane, and she started having second thoughts.
When the interview invitation finally came through, she was hesitant to proceed. After a few in-depth discussions where we outlined her long-term career goals and addressed her concerns, she decided to move forward with the opportunity.
Following her first interview, she was over the moon—her conversation with a partner during her interview reminded her why she had been looking to move in the first place. Shortly after that, her current supervising partner resigned unexpectedly, further solidifying her belief that this was the perfect time for a transition.
A week later, she accepted an outstanding offer from her desired firm, along with a $30,000 sign-on bonus. This journey highlights the importance of staying patient, keeping a long-term perspective, and trusting that the right opportunity will come along, sometimes when you least expect it.
