Do you mind sharing where you're going instead and why?Anonymous User wrote:Snell offer received and rejected.
A national firm but smaller office in another state. Didn't feel like Snell/Phoenix was as good of a fit for me.Anonymous User wrote:Do you mind sharing where you're going instead and why?Anonymous User wrote:Snell offer received and rejected.
Good luck with the other firm. Do you mind sharing whether your are in/out of state, ~school rank, ~class rank?Anonymous User wrote:A national firm but smaller office in another state.

Fyi, don't know if this adds anything to the discussion, but I know almost all of the firms in this thread have sent "we don't want you for a callback but good luck finding a job in this awful economy" letters. I haven't heard of a Snell rejection letter being sent yet, tho. Posinelli doing CBS today, Bryan Cave tomorrow, Fennemore next week.

Its sad how Phoenix lags the nation. NY hiring seems to have picked back up, but PHX keeps dropping.Anonymous User wrote:I heard that Fennemore is going to be more like 5-6 this year, Snell 6, and GT 6. Squire Sanders might be having a few as well?
16th (or so) in metro area populaton tho.Anonymous User wrote:Or if you believe attorneys are a bad thing, then it's good to have less in Phoenix.
Isn't Phoenix like 6th in terms of total population in America, but like 19th in terms of # of attorneys?
Where are you getting your intel? I'd be surprised if Snell only hired 6 people for next summer. They had 8 in the most recent class, gave all of them offers, and are apparently bumping the summer program back up to ten weeks. That firm is apparently in very good shape. I would guess they could have given offers to 12-15 SAs last year but they have decided to be conservative ever since the catastrophic summer class of 2009.Anonymous User wrote:I heard that Fennemore is going to be more like 5-6 this year, Snell 6, and GT 6.

Every secondary market lags behind NY in this respect. And it's questionable whether PHX class size is, indeed, continuing to drop. I summered at a PHX firm and almost every firm in the city seemed to be on the upswing.Anonymous User wrote:Its sad how Phoenix lags the nation.

CB with Fennemore and GT. Any idea how many of their SAs they got permanent offers this year?Anonymous User wrote:Where are you getting your intel?

The NALP forms, for whatever they're worth, suggest more SA's than that. I believe the NALP says Snell will have ~8, Fennemore ~9, etc.Anonymous User wrote:Where are you getting your intel?

And more attorneys would be a sign of a more vital private sector. The largest predictor of legal market size is corp headquarters.
