shitty interviewer. TTTexas at 33% is rough, but you pulled some CBs. Not nailing any means you fucked up.

My guess is you didn't sell ties hard enough.

I think I may be a shitty interviewer. I'm pretty high energy, to bad it is too late to tone it down.

So, pretty much this.

ITT: DF tells a bunch of people with solid grades from top schools who bid exclusively large-class NYC firms that they are severe aspies.

It's entertaining when people get flustered about being called "bro."

Top 20% T20, Bid heavily 2/3 NY, 1/3 DC. Mass-mailed all secondary markets I had real ties too. Had 4 callbacks.

How was your interviewing skills? 4 CB's is a lot, but going 0/4 sucks. You shouldn't have bid DC at all.

You should mass mail even more places.

But you struck out because you went to a TTT20. Sorry bro, those are semi-target schools.

4 is a lot?

You pulled some CBs. Not nailing any means you fucked up.

Is this quite as true as it maybe used to be? Seems like the successful CB-to-offer conversion ratio has been on the decline for a while now.

What basis do you have for this claim.

[Anonymous User]

6 callbacks, 3 NY, 3 smaller regional market with weak to passable ties. 0 offers. I'm at a T7 (I think, don't care about that anymore), have decent grades, and am pretty personable. Work experience is interesting and relevant. I write like a boss and have some diversity things going for me.

Some spreadsheets from our career folks that track this data.

Are you talking aggregate callback to offer? That's actually a nice thing to have but I'm not sure it's necessarily true and would be curuois to know how many years of data you have.

Just looking at Columbia's spreadsheet, plenty of major firms' CB:Offer rates have plummeted in recent years. STB used to be close to 90% but now they're down to about 67%. Still high, but that's 3 times as many people without offers.

[B.B. Homemaker]

It's by firm, and I actually only have three years worth. Probably not a verifiable trend, though it correlates nicely with what I've seen and heard this season, i.e. that a decent number of people have had a respectable number of callbacks and relatively few offers as a result. I might just be friends with aspies, idk.

Work abroad, biglaw marketing, preftigious government gig this past summer.

[Mal Reynolds]

I'm just not sure why that would be the case after the economic meltdown. I'm not saying it doesn't happen on a firm to firm level, maybe they call back more people as a recruiting strategy but an across the board decrease in callback to offer rates sounds strange over the past few years. But maybe I'm wrong. Just don't see the motivation behind it.

[notgreat]

They give us the cb to offer ratio along with lots of other shit from the year before us. BB, did you get spreadsheets from upperclassmen for past years?

Does decent mean top 25% or better?
