For those who are Paralegals - can I ask what your notice is after your probation period? I am a paralegal at the moment and my notice after 6 months probation will be 3 months - and I am wondering if this is industry standard or just my firm.

I'm thinking who is gonna wait 3 months to hire a paralegal with 6 months experience 💀

8 weeks @ a top 20 city firm. This is for 12 month FTC.

I still have no update from AG. There’s 3 weeks left for them to make a response - they said we should hear back within 10 weeks from the deadline. (I can’t remember where I read this so I might be wrong.)

I haven’t got a good feeling anymore
