Turned down K&L offer, declined Buch before they could reach a decision. Best of luck to everyone in this forum! Hope it works out for you all.

Does anyone know of the specific 1L jobs offered at the large firms in Pittsburgh? Are they mostly/all diversity slots? I grew up in Pittsburgh and I'm looking to return.

^^

Just from my very limited experience, I think that if you are going to a good school (I'm thinking like T20, and especially T14), you should absolutely network and massmail for 1L Big Firm jobs. A friend received a 1L job at one of the big firms in Pitt, and I know that the big ones all have 1Ls in their SA classes. I would definitely apply if you're going to one of these schools. Ties are crucial, but it sounds like you have them.

Forgot to quote, sorry.
