Offer from Dorsey - CB yesterday

what office?

Sorry, Minneapolis.

That's awesome. Do you think you're going to take it?

Thanks! Yeah, I think I probably will.

On a sort of related note, does anyone know, when you are turning down an offer from a firm should you contact the attorney who called you to tell you about the offer or should you contact the hiring partner (who signed the offer) or both?

getting slightly worried here, had 3 callbacks week before last, then 5 more last week...still no offers yet. Dinged from one of the firms from week before last (which according to last yr's statistics offered all 5 people that accepted their callbacks)...kinda worried im doing something wrong during callbacks. This is for DC. I know DC is slower in turning around offers but still all my friends have been hearing back in a couple of days at most.

Anybody know if I'm right to be worried or if DC really is slow and I should relax?

A good number of DC firms read writing samples after callbacks so this may be the reason for the delay.

WilmerHale DC offer from callback last week.

[Anonymous User]

Morning, folks. First time checking in.

30 at EIP in multiple/too many markets. 7 callbacks (if McKenzie counts, which I didn't take).

5 offers from 5 callbacks so far (4 in NYC, one international branch office) -- Last callback in NYC this week.

I have been told that, on the whole, DC isn't making the amount of offers that they have in the past.

Did all my DC CBs in the first 2 weeks of the flyout period and so far have heard back from half. Some firms (especially those with smaller class sizes) definitely seem to be taking their time.

What are you guys thoughts on splitting with a NY firm? I was hoping to do NY in the first half and dote last 6 weeks in TX but im concerned that even if a firm allowed that they might end up no offering me at the end of the summer. Thoughts? Is this a horrible idea?

[Anonymous User]

Also interested in the splitting summers question (only between NY and CA).

Non-HLSer here, but I've heard that firms often make offers for first-halfers at the end of the half, not the end of the summer. This is a major reason for second-half no-offers, because people slack off.

I suspect - based on the TLS echo chamber, not experience - that NY/TX splits are likely to be less problematic, especially on the TX side where half-summer-only SA gigs are quite common. I know a lot of CA offices want splitters there for the first 8 weeks, though, so it may be problematic with the NY/CA split (unless it's intra-firm).

So they would offer me before i left? Cause most of the NY programs are 10 weeks and id be there for 8, they wouldnt hold that against me?

Don't take this on faith - check. When you're asking if you can split, consider asking whether they make decisions before you leave or after.

Haha of course, but good to know that this is even a possibility. I guess i'll ask

[Anonymous User]

anyone have experience with an 8 weeks/8 weeks split or an 8-10 split etc? As opposed to an 8-6 split. This doesn't concern Texas. NY or CA on one side/ Secondary market on another.
