Any Boston offers? Forum

[Anonymous User]

Also, is there anyone who has done a Goodwin CB? Do they live up to the 1-2 weeks turnaround they claim?

I received my Goodwin offer exactly 2 weeks to the day after my callback.

Still silence from Weil/Skadden?

Is Sullivan & Worcester really not extending offers until early October? Won't that put them at a disadvantage, since their top choices may be coming up against NALP deadlines from other firms? I wonder why they are waiting so long.

I heard Choate is having a dinner next Thursday for people with offers

Weil informed me they will not be making any decisions until mid-to-late next week.

They may not want to waste offers on people with offers from higher ranked firms.

When did you do your callback with Weil?

Supposedly they've given an offer or two already.

Skadden has made offers. A friend has one, sitting on it for a couple weeks.

Has anyone been rejected yet from Skadden (post cb) or are they just holding everyone?

[Anonymous User]

Holding me so far, no doubt. What a bummer.

Is poster above's friend sitting because Skadden is a real choice, or is he more likely to turn down?

Why do some firms pay less? I have an offer from a national firm with Boston office that pays $30k below market. Any ideas? What about how payscale goes up from there?

S&W or Nutter? Some firms don't make as much, not as much revenue. The bigger, more successful tend to pay more, i.e. the trinity of GP, WH, R&G

Is this the exhaustive list as of today?
Seems almost too short, seeing as how it is the end of September.
Has anyone heard from Mintz?

When was the Foley Lardner offer given out?

Agreed. What about EAPD?

Nutter too.

I would be really shocked if Bingham and Proskauer Rose are still silent at this point.

Boston market seemed pretty good this year--do most people have an offer at this point?

This is a joke, right. Most firms I talked with were having summer classes of fewer than 10.

Outside of Ropes (70), Wilmer (30), and GP (30ish I think), most firms are under 10. Bingham 5-6, Skadden 2-3, Choate 8-10, Foley 5-8... I don't think thats exactly good.
