I had a DPW call back last Thursday and haven't heard anything
Took me almost two weeks from callback to offer, I was freaking out. Particularly on the corporate side I think it's a little sluggish.

This is encouraging. When was your CB with DPW? :shock:

FWIW DPW told me that some offers may wait until after Thanksgiving due to timing of hiring meetings.

Are you all interviewing for Associates/3L positions or for 2L Summer Associate positions that will start in the Summer of 2021?

What is the longest amount of time someone here has been waiting for a decision after a call back in this cycle? I'm at 3 weeks tomorrow for a V50.

Do you know if it's just a few (like only exceptional candidates), or if they are interviewing a substantial number? Thanks!

I have still yet to hear back from a DPW despite interviewing 2 weeks ago. Someone at my lower T14 has heard back, so I'm presuming that I'm on some kind of hold or something.

Any thoughts on how I should approach this? Does receiving a competing offer help?

Does anyone know if all firms will give you an official ding, or will some just ghost you after a callback if they don't want you?
They'll ghost you
Damn. Do you think asking for a timeline would lead to a ding? Almost two weeks after Goodwin Interview. Not sure if I should email before Thanksgiving.

For Boston, looks like there have been some Goodwin offers. Any offers from Ropes, Foley, Choate, Proskauer, Mintz?

Likely just a few to exceptional candidates who the firm sees as shoo-ins, but I don't know this for sure; I just know people have received them.
