Re: Summer Associate Class of 2016
How long between the oral and the written offer? I got an oral offer on 7/30 and they had apparently planned on giving written offers the same day but the person responsible was busy so they were gonna email offer letters the following Monday. Nothing yet, wondering whether I should bother recruiting ... (Small program with 3 SAs so shouldn't be a huge admin effort if that makes a difference.)

Can we do a run through of what firms this summer were 100% offer rate?

Kind of pointless since we can't really know much about the cold offer rate.Londonbear wrote:Can we do a run through of what firms this summer were 100% offer rate?

I don't get the obsession with putting a firm on blast because it didn't offer one person who almost certainly deserved what they got.Londonbear wrote:Can we do a run through of what firms this summer were 100% offer rate?
If a firm doesn't hire three or four people, then alert the masses. But is anyone really going to choose a firm based on whether it had a 99% or 100% offer rate, especially when the 100% firm probably would have also no-offered the summer that the 99% firm no-offered, had the summer ended up there?

Re: Summer Associate Class of 2016
Eh, if it's a smaller class, and the firm has a pattern of no-offering a person or two, it's probably worth it to know if nothing more to be on guard when the inevitable "we expect to give everyone offers" line comes out from the hiring partner. But yea, one person getting no offered in a 60 person class shouldn't be a factor in anyone's decision.tyrant_flycatcher wrote:I don't get the obsession with putting a firm on blast because it didn't offer one person who almost certainly deserved what they got.Londonbear wrote:Can we do a run through of what firms this summer were 100% offer rate?

And regarding 100% not being a useful metric without knowing the cold offer rate, a cold offer is significantly better than a no offer. I probably would have taken a 100% firm with a 30% cold offer rate than a 90% full offer firm.

It amuses me that firms are no marketing to their associates "no cold offers" . . . while still giving cold offers. Because who would know the difference?

Re: Summer Associate Class of 2016
The crazy part about that though is that you can look up on NALP and see "29/30" offers (which is also echoed on Vault), so it's really weird to lie about that. I have a feeling it was probably associates or partners who are not really involved in the summer program/hiring saying that. To purposefully lie about something that is published is pretty dumb and/or unethical.soj wrote:I had firms at oci tell me they offered everyone the past summer when I knew that wasn't the case (unless anyone would have a reason to tell me they got no offered even though they got an offer, cold or not). I don't think it was necessarily malicious, just casual lying that everyone does during oci.
ETA: At OCI you'd only be able to see stats for the previous year, but the data eventually gets published.

One person in my summer class go no offered and none of the associates knew.

Re: Summer Associate Class of 2016
Maybe it depends on the firm and the situation, my firm cold-offered someone the previous summer and most of my class found out about it from associates early on in the summer (because the person was apparently an awful human being and people liked to talk about how horrible you'd need to be to get cold-offered).
