How do firms like SLB and Dentons compare with Big 4?

I have had many friends (legal execs / those who did not get retained by their firms) who see it as a glimmer of hope - hence the 200+ applications EACH time the post gets re-posted.

But I highly doubt HR would view your application through LinkedIn given:

1. None of my friends (some even submitted each and every time the post comes up), got the notif from LinkedIn saying the poster had read their application.

2. HR is already dealing with more than sufficient applications going in through their recruitment email.

That post? It's from a team that's always hiring, but is very selective. It's a real position.

This is true. Caps at $9k, after which you have to bring in files and reach a certain commission threshold, if not no salary raise.

"I don't work there but I thoroughly enjoy the schadenfreude of seeing my competitor's inboxes get inundated with 200+ unsolicited applications every now and then"

Side note does anyone actually open those single 15MB pdf resumes? Like some people scanned what they got for contract law in 600dpi.

Inb4 I don't work at a Chinatown firm too poor to buy me a laptop with more than 4GB ram

Hey don't bring Leicester into this. We're not Oxbridge Vikings Studies or that London School of Fashion (a real degree mill).
