Try Conrad O'Brien if you want to do litigation, they didn't start taking apps until August 1.

I have a good friend who interviewed with them at OCI. Turns out they pay market for Philly and have a very high offer rate. Any update on where they are at on making a decision?

I had my callback with pepper the week of September 13. To be honest, I'm a little relieved. Of all the firms I've interviewed with, they were the only uptight one. They seemed very serious. Their offices seemed dead too.

Also had a CB with them (not the Philly office though), and this is exactly the vibe I got. Other firms seemed nice and chill, but the attorneys at Pepper seemed very seriously and, frankly, just not that friendly.

I can't give any more info than what I wrote above. I applied on Aug. 1 and never even heard from them so I have no idea where they're at.

I've seen some conflicting timelines for Duane Morris cb->offer. Anyone have insight? I had my CB a few weeks ago. They are my first choice. Am I still in the running?

Not super important, but does anyone know if Pepper does email or snailmail dings post CB? Just wondering what to look out for.

Obermayer is done hiring, FWIW. Got a (very complimentary, tbf) rejection letter from them which said they were only hiring 1 SA and they filled the position.

No - snail mail. I'm disappointed, but not too surprised. One of the partners did not take well to something on my resume. They were my last hope for a V100.

Edit: not trying to make excuses or anything. I just seem to have had bad luck with interviewers throughout OCI.

This was the DM ding above, sorry. Accidentally quoted myself while trying to edit.

All hope is not lost at the big 4 but I don't know what you're going to do with that info that will be helpful to you.

Any Potter movement?

How long do they usually take on decisions? Anyone want to share their experience?

Also interested in this. They said they would be a while before they got back to me, but it has been over a month.

I was just curious what market you decided to go to instead.
