Got an offer by email last night and a partner I interviewed with called today and left a VM tonight to congratulate me, and left me his number and suggested I could call back but didn't explicitly ask me to. Thoughts on whether I should?

You already had the offer...it's not like a lot can go wrong. Just call back to thank him.

Anyone hear from Sullivan & Cromwell, Skadden, or White & Case's London offices? My EIP interviews were all on Friday, and it's already been two weeks and haven't heard back.

Any reason not to drop out of the rest of my CBs if I am happy with two offers I received and they are better than my remaining options?

[Anonymous User]

What in gods name is taking Sullivan & Cromwell NYC so long to get back to me? Still waiting on CB or ding going on two weeks now. I'm about ready to accept an offer and feel stupid waiting and waiting and waiting.

I guess you have to ask yourself what "better" means? If you mean you've considered all possible factors, then you can drop out of the CBs. If you know you wouldn't accept an offer from any of the remaining CB firms, then you should definitely drop. But if there's a chance you might consider an offer from one, what harm is there in going back for the CB?

I definitely will not accept an offer from any of the CBs that I plan on canceling. I guess I'm thinking that on the small chance I decide to switch after the summer, does it make a difference if a firm made an offer the previous year vs cancelled CB?

yeah, I think there's a difference. I'm forcing myself to do one last callback next week, even though I'm fairly certain I'd pick two other offers over this firm.

Is there such a thing as declining an offer too soon?

I have an offer from Firm A, but I am more inclined to accept my offers from Firms B or C.

I want to decline the offer so that Firm A can give it to someone else, but I really liked the people I met at Firm A and I don't want them to think it was an easy decision for me.

What's the protocol for this? Should I wait for like two weeks before declining or decline now?

If you're going to decline it eventually, do it now so someone else has a chance. Firm A isn't going to take it personally, they meet a lot of people.

Anyone have a callback at Shearman? What was your experience? Each of my interviewers had a very distinct style/line of questioning and I'm wondering if that was orchestrated.
