Those who had a CB with Cravath yesterday - did anyone receive on the spot offers or hear back any other way?

I heaven't heard back at all from yesterday, they told me early next week.

I will ask you though did you leave earlier than you expected? I left before seeing as much people as I thought I would and I want to tell myself that it was because they did seem to be struggling to find people to interview us but I also had one pretty meh interview that could have just told them to send me out lol.

Not saying this to be a dick, but I know of two separate people who got on the spot offers yesterday after their callbacks. Lower T-14

I know of two separate people who got on the spot offers from Cravath yesterday. Not trying to be mean, just for anecdotal data points.

No that is good to know, I didn't feel great about my day anyways. Was thinking it might have been a ding due to slightly-early leaving, and on-the-spot offers supports the idea of it being fast turnaround (for dings as well).

how many did you talk to? I interviewed pre-OCI and during my prep for it was told it's normal to meet 3 partners and 2-3 associates, which is what ended up happening to me

2 partners (each for 1+ hour), lunch, then 1 associate

CSM's CB interviews don't follow a rigid formula. I wouldn't worry too much about how many people you met with or for how long.

yea that's definitely on the short side. I did 3 partners for over an hour each and then an afternoon full of associates after lunch.. though I was also there on a weekday so maybe Saturday differs

Author of this post. Will add that a friend and I both started interviewing on the same day a few years ago. Her interviews lasted the entire day and she got her offer. I was out of the firm by 2:30pm with an offer in hand. Really is random.

I did my CSM callback at OCI two years ago. Assuming they haven't changed their rubric--and they are loathe to change--the weekday interviews would result in offers same-day, as others have confirmed upthread, whereas the Saturday interviewees all left without knowing and received offers on Monday or Tuesday (depended on whether you interviewed as corporate, litigation, or mix), with dings later in the week. I did Saturday & my offer was on Tuesday morning.

Same here. I did mine on a Friday and got an offer the following Monday afternoon. I'd abandoned hope by the time I got my call because I knew of one person who'd gotten offered on the spot that Friday.
