I’m looking to lateral from my current firm and I’m using a recruiter who came highly recommended by associates who used them to lateral to their current firms. They sent out my blind profile and one firm replied that they were interested but literally the very next day they listed the exact position I was applying for with my exact class year. I haven’t heard anything back but does this mean I was dinged? How long do firms take to reply to recruiters i general?

Reading the tea leaves is pointless but this could be a good sign. A lot of firms have policies requiring a public posting before an associate is hired.
