Chicago Offers

Post by Anonymous User » Thu Sep 09, 2010 1:36 pm

Figured I'd start this thread so we could all get an idea of where we stand after CBs are over. It seems like a few NY firms have started giving offers but havent heard about any Chicago offers given after callbacks yet. So if you get one or know of someone who has gotten one, please post and let us know which firm it came from! And the time between CB and offer. And anything else helpful that you feel comfortable giving!

You asking for offers from Chicago firms or officers, or offers to UofC students?

Anyone interview with K&E yet? Particularly in the IP group, but generally would be interesting too.

I was told a couple days ago that they would be doing rolling-basis offers throughout. So really, who knows?

Kirkland Chicago has made at least one offer already, so you heard wrong.

I got an offer from Jenner a little short of a week after CB. Had a Paul Hastings CB and have yet to hear anything (more than a week).
