Oh man, I am sorry to hear that. But I am afraid you might have to move on.
Also, paging the Pretzel person. Did things get better?

I think the worst part of all this is the total fucking radio silence after applying to places.

I am so sorry. Hang in there. It may just be typical asshat radio silence.

I'm fucking TERRIFIED. It was easy to feel okay about everything when I could say "I haven't heard anything yet because no one makes decisions until December/January/February." Now that the time is coming for decisions, I'm just...so scared that I'm not going to have anything by the time late February rolls around. I don't know what I'd do. I feel like the fact that I've had interviews has given me a false sense of security.

This is what pisses me off. I live in a really small market and have heard of people pulling this crap. Is it so hard to call someone back and say, "I'm so sorry you didn't pass, but we really someone who is licensed. Please keep in touch for the future." Jesus.
Anyway, I'm really sorry, bro. I hope it's not what we think it is.

Well you didn't, and it's easy for other people to second guess you because they're not in your concrete boots staring down tens of thousands in accrued interest. There's no manual for this. Personally, me and a lot of people I know would have gotten back to you right away. That this employer hasn't touched base with you says more about them than about what you wrote, didn't write, or should have saved for face-to-face.

I got a job this past summer, my attorney dad got a new job after a year of looking, and my little brother signed his job offer today.
It can and does get better, y'all. My time in the Vale was very dark but I made it out and so can you.

OP here; still only silence.
I think it's rude not to call/email rejections following an interview, but this is a new level of ridiculous. I mean, one minute they want to start a professional relationship with me, the next they refuse to even talk to me. I've had people tell me that I shouldn't have said anything about failing in the email, and should have saved that for a face-to-face meeting. I agree that's what I should have done, though I was just trying to save everyone's time.

This could well be a decision that must be made by multiple people, or at least not by the person for whom you left a message. And that person/those people might be in the weeds right now. You informed them on Wednesday. Today's Friday. As you know, that's a millisecond in hiring time. Hang in there and good luck!

Loans come due next month (luckily only about $60k or so and I have some savings). Received several rejection letters from law firms last week after not even getting interviews. Worked in-house at a publicly traded company last summer, but they have no openings for entry level attorneys at the moment. Interested in corporate transactional work. Starting to feel really fucked.

I spent every damn minute of the last 10 months scared shitless, tired, and ashamed. I felt guilty every minute I spent not scanning a jobs board or writing another doomed fucking cover letter. I don't even want to say how I felt when my wife--who worked 12 hour days this whole time--would ask me if I found anything.
I'm writing in today to check out of the vale.
I got my dream job. I'm going to try cases in the place I want to live and pay off these ridiculous loans. My wife cried when i told her.
Remember team, sometimes this shit does just work out.
