Contacted them, hopefully they will be understanding. I sincerely think this is an automatic rejection but hopefully they give me the chance to interview at least a few attorneys on my schedule.

Also, someone talk me off the edge and tell me my chances aren't blown here

That's a pretty substantial flight delay. As long as you're keeping them informed I have no idea why they would hold that against you. You're fine.

It looks like it will be delayed even longer now. It may come down to whether they will be willing to interview me on Monday or something.

Rescheduled my interview for the early afternoon so hopefully I'll be able to make it out by then. I have to reschedule my afternoon interview now (although that one is only an in-office screener).

You're doing a screener with a firm while another firm is paying for you to fly to the city? Didn't think that was kosher.

Lost my second interview and they were unwilling to reschedule.

And I'm paying with it all myself since I was going to be in town.

I have an unreasonable emotional investment in OP's success.

I still can't believe one of the firms is unwilling to reschedule. I'm up here on my own dime.

Taking "Ls" or "losses." See generally, RJ.

It's actually good news that your flight got delayed by a lot in at least one regard. A three-hour flight delay would throw a lot of people off schedule, so it doesn't seem like your fault that you're late. If you were late from a 20-minute flight delay, you'd just seem irresponsible to the firm for not working more time into your schedule.

So interview 1 will went, we'll see how it goes. Interview is unfortunately off the books forever (I even offered to come back on my own dime).

Agreed. Have you considered outing the firm, either now or later?

Sounds like the second firm probably wasn't that serious about you anyway. I wouldn't sweat it.

They also interestingly told me in an interview that they offered all their SAs, yet I have a Vault report that says otherwise. Don't sweat it indeed.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
