Banking Regulator Attorney Honors 2014: OCC, FRB, FDIC, CFPB Forum

[Anonymous User]

OCC is doing callbacks this week. I heard they'll be hiring 4 attorneys this year from my screening interviewer.

OCC is doing callbacks this week. I heard they'll be hiring 4 attorneys this year from my screening interviewer.

So presumably they have already contacted applicants to schedule these callbacks?

[Anonymous User]

bump, anyone heard anything or just crickets still?

I hear the FRB has extended offers for 2L law clerks.

Does anyone know the metrics for which occ/frb/cfpb choose applicants to interview/CB?

I asked my OCC screener the same thing and he said it wasn't pretty. The only number he gave me was 1,000 applicants.

Well, this certainly sucks (if true): 1,000 applicants for 4 slots

Are they extending callbacks this week? Or are they actually having the interviews this week?

My screener also said they were only hiring 4 this year. Said callbacks would go out by early October.

Can we get a definition for callbacks ITT? I thought callbacks refer to the interview itself. Not the act of calling back the applicant after a screening interview to set up a second interview.

I asked when individuals selected for callback interviews at the headquarters in DC would be notified, my screener said by early October at the latest.

Callbacks are being conducted this week at the OCC. It did screeners at some schools for OCI so callbacks for these people would be second interviews.

Have they extended callbacks to non-screener, email applicants?

Also, how do you know they are conducting interviews?

Thanks for the info!

Were the callbacks just for individuals who had a screener?

Have any email applicants heard anything? Nothing on my end.

For those that had an interview, how was it? Timeline?

Nothing on my end.

Did any law clerks apply? If so, did you guys hear anything?

Current clerk at one of the FDIC offices. Applied on the date of deadline Didn't get an acknowledgement of receipt though. Did anyone else?

To those who received an interview, how was it?

I also did not receive acknowledgement of receipt. Has anyone received an FDIC callback?

That's a 1 in 250 odds, which is honestly pretty good odds relative to probably most other legal jobs. I know the job market has improved since I was looking (a few years ago), but back then even $50k /year local prosecutor positions in the middle of nowhere were getting around 200-300 application per job posting (which typically only filled one opening). 1 in 250 for a good federal government agency is pretty great.
