Re: Pre-OCI 2019
My sense is that
1.) PW gives out dings
2.) It'd be remarkable, if PW was hiring normally, that NOBODY they interviewed within the past 2 weeks was worth a hire.

Re: Pre-OCI 2019
I agree. Although I’ve heard of the firm giving out dings more efficiently/quickly in past years (by email), so not receiving anything yet makes me feel like we’re not dinged necessarily.Anonymous User wrote:My sense is that

Re: Pre-OCI 2019
Regular OCI question since there isn't a general thread -- is it meaningful that firms I just got CB's at (from my OCI) have associates from a practice group I expressed interest in proactively reaching out to me? (sending non-form emails offering to chat about my practice area of interest) My grades/resume are good, but not good enough (I think) to be remarkable to the firms that are reaching out to me, and less selective firms haven't had associates reach out.

Anon trolling aside, has anybody actually heard? Was told the hiring committee meets every day which is making me less and less optimistic about my chances.Anonymous User wrote:I had one but withdrew due to better options before they had a chance to extend my offer.Anonymous User wrote:Anybody who had skadden CB last Thursday/ Friday heard anything yet?

Re: Pre-OCI 2019
I'm in a similar boat with Skadden & PW: callbacks two weeks ago, haven't heard anything.
Per Columbia's careers dean, Skadden / PW are going to compare all of the Columbia candidates that did pre-OCI and they didn't already accept / reject with everyone who comes into the office. I trust this person, but she said it's not based on inside info -- just that "this is what has happened in the past."

Re: Pre-OCI 2019
Huh, makes sense that they would go about it that way but the recruiter made a point of mentioning that the committee meets every day. Disappointing if true, OCI was a mess and pulling this off would be a much-needed win about now.Anonymous User wrote:I'm in a similar boat with Skadden & PW: callbacks two weeks ago, haven't heard anything.

Still silence from Skadden. Felt like my best CB yet, disappointing to think that's still not good enough.
