We hired more people because we need corporate folks as an abnormally large percentage of 2 and 3 years have left or specialized. Firm is busier than ever and we need bodies. Definitely did not over-hire, were still conservative, to be honest. And we routinely have 100% offer rate here - with very few exceptions (namely one summer getting drunk and saying he/she would rather be at McKinsey and one other summer having an inappropriate relationship at the firm).
This is obviously false, as the subsequent posts have made clear. Why do people think like this?
Because I am on the summer associate committee and I know for certain w/r/t Chicago office. I cannot control what people may say to friends to save ego.
LOL. Sure. People tell their closest friends they were cold-offered to brag. And ruthlessly for-profit firms never let people go quietly, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.
Fuck off, sincerely. Propaganda like this is part of what makes getting cold-offered such a shameful and debilitating thing.
Edit - this doesn't mean OP has to be worried. I'm not saying that.
I hate to get into a pissing match with someone who doesn't know anything definitely about the situation but since I do know for a fact that K&E Chicago has not cold offered anyone for the past 6 years, I have to correct the inaccurate record in this thread. I do not know about other offices of the firm. I think people who get no-offered here may spin it however they want but this firm simply does not over-hire then no offer people. If people do not get offers from K&E it is because they earned the no-offer. (Anonymous because I have posted too much personal information in other threads and do not want to out myself as being on the summer associate committee here).
Bullshit. People don't lie about receiving cold offers, which are embarrassing. Being on the ~~associates committee~~ doesn't change anything here. Of course, this assumes you aren't talking out of your ass, anonymously, to defend the honor of your firm (lmao). Which you may be.
