Weekend Callback?
I was just given dates for a callback and some of them fall on a Saturday or Sunday. I was wondering if the person was looking at the wrong month or if weekend callbacks are not unusual

Re: Weekend Callback?
Gotta be an error. No firm would schedule a callback on a weekend.

Yep - definitely call/email them to ask, noting that the dates fall on a weekend.20181989 wrote:Gotta be an error. No firm would schedule a callback on a weekend.
I vaguely recall hearing of a firm that actually did do weekend CBs, but not sure if that was true or just an urban legend. In any case, doesn't hurt to check given how unheard-of it is.

Re: Weekend Callback?
I actually did have a weekend callback because the partner wanted to schedule last minute and there was nobody else available to sub in.
Never given a weekend date to pick from though.

Re: Weekend Callback?
I (and many of my classmates) had my callback at Skadden on a Saturday. This was a few years ago though — now Skadden limits it to weekdays as far as I can tell.QContinuum wrote:Yep - definitely call/email them to ask, noting that the dates fall on a weekend.20181989 wrote:Gotta be an error.

Re: Weekend Callback?
yes some law firms as noted above copied ibanking and do "super Saturdays" where they will just have everyone come in back to back on a Saturday. sometimes it's the easiest way to schedule for busy partners.

Re: Weekend Callback?
yeah but it's mid-October... OP is this a second round lateral interview? Or is this actually a callback for an SA? Even if the latter, I doubt any is having a "super" Saturday in October.

Re: Weekend Callback?
OP here.
I’m an out of town lateral candidate (roughly 5-6 hour flight to get to the interview).

Re: Weekend Callback?
I'd say it could be intentional given the flight and so you have to miss less work? But it also could be an accident. You should confirm.Anonymous User wrote:OP here.

Re: Weekend Callback?
I know of firms in Atlanta that did weekend callbacks and extended offers over the weekend. This was after a career fair and around the last week of July/first week of August, though.

Re: Weekend Callback?
OP here. It wasn’t a typo. The firm knows I’m interviewing with a decent number of firms and wanted to give an option for a weekend callback if it fit better with my schedule.
