Wondering how many of us are still offer-less at this point.

Anyone receive an offer at Baker McKenzie Chicago's office recently? I had my cb last week and still no word, though I realize Chicago firms are pretty slow.

I posted before, but I and a few other people had same-day offers. The recruiter told me at my callback that it would be a ~2 week turnaround though (I was called by the hiring partner, so I don't know if the recruiter was telling me worst-case scenario, or if it was simple miscommunication).

I must have missed the posts. There were a couple that I thought were talking about the NYC office. Interestingly, one of the interviewers seem to suggest that 2 weeks was best case scenario. When did you have your cb?

Anyone do cb with Seyfarth Shaw?

Just got a call for cb from Pircher Nichols on Friday, so sounds like lots of firms are doing second rounds now. Hang in there everyone!

Which fellowship are you interviewing for. I have mine scheduled soon (lit).

L&e! They may all run on a different timeline...not sure. Had my callback last week

Hey 3Ls, is now about the time that we can safely assume that silence post-screener counts as a ding?

Any idea how long each fellowship generally takes post CB?

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Sun Sep 20, 2015 11:36 pm

I was told probably early October, no later than mid October. Anyone have any insight into the fellowship program at Seyfarth?

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Mon Sep 21, 2015 10:19 am

I had a friend who did it last summer, so feel free to take my insights with a grain of salt. s/he really liked the firm. Small class size, and doesn't pay full pro-rated salary. But overall got good work/experience and ended up with a FT offer. s/he is happy with experience/result.

For Chicago office, does anybody have an idea about its SA class size for 2016? I assume 2-3 for L&E / 2-3 for Lit / 1 for Corp but if some of you asked during an interview, please share! Thanks!

No. I emailed them last week asking for an update and they said "we hope to have answers tomorrow..." That was over a week ago. Not impressed.

I massmailed them a while ago and they contacted me to schedule an interview. I had already accepted another offer but I wanted to share the intel with people who could use it. No idea if they're still looking for people now.

Vedder Price Chicago contacted me a couple days ago, so they're probably still looking.

Anyone gotten any news post-CB from Drinker Biddle Chi? I'm going on four weeks of nothing.
