Job search during recession?
Posted: Mon Sep 16, 2019 12:57 am
Class of 2017 here doing corporate work at very large/recognized local firm (not BL). Due to personal reasons, I will be moving to NY next year during the first quarter. I have yet to start the lateral job search process, but am extremely concerned about the potential recession that people are saying will likely hit next year. If I remember correctly, I think 3rd-4th yrs were hit the hardest during the last recession. Given my class year, would big law be a possibility for me if I start applying around next year, or would I have better luck in midlaw/boutiques? Given my planned move, I will have to proceed rapidly with the job search process and would like to focus/utilize my time efficiently. Any insight would be appreciated! Also, anon cuz my current firm doesn't know about my personal plans yet. Thank you.
