Quinn Emanuel Hiring Timeline Forum

See above, probably best not to mention, not before a cb unless you're going to add, I have to decide by x, and I'm confident I would rather work for you.

And by the way, the suggestion that a student has real leverage in seeking an SA position because they might go elsewhere is laughable. The exception would be for a small market firm where you had close ties and legit pre law school business relationships (or your family owns and runs the largest private businesses in the city or something). So that would apply to maybe a handful of law students in the country.

How does this square with the supposed yield protection people here describe firms as having? I mean, obviously it's a buyer's market from the firms' perspectives, and they'll have no trouble filling their classes regardless, but I can't imagine they like to make a habit of extending offers to people they think will turn them down. Or having to bother with round of callbacks and evaluations at the last minute.

I think you're missing what the quoted language says. It says don't mention your offer, unless you're doing so because you want the firm you don't have an offer from to make you an offer or give you a cb. And it also says, that you should follow the information that you have an existing offer with the statement that you would rather work at the firm you don't have the offer from.

I'm not sure if this is even English.

Back to topic, got a ding from DC office by snail mail the other day. Still no word from NY, but I'm assuming ding since it's been over a month.

Offer -- SF office

Offer -- SF office

Congrats! Any idea where they're at in their hiring timeline? Still sitting on my original email to them. Hoping that means I've survived any auto-ding and they might be keeping me around for when people reject offers after OCI.

Not entirely sure where Quinn's at unfortunately! I don't know anyone at the office so I really can't say.

[Anonymous User]

Different anon with a fairly recent SF offer. The day I was there there was at least one other person interviewing, might have been two, so people are still coming in. I know that's not very helpful but that's all I got.

Did everyone with offers get their offer the next business day after their CB?

Offered on the spot at the callback. Looking back through this thread, it seems that is their M.O. unless the hiring partner is not at the office that day.

LA, havent posted before. Offered next business day after CB.

Different anon - do you think not hearing the next business day is a no-offer?

Someone mentioned hearing back like two or three days later. But I got an offer next business day as well.

If snail mail dings are seriously a thing when they already have our e-mail addresses, that's crazy. Tons of people switch local addresses between first and second year... just send the e-mail.

Snail mail dings are pretty common actually. And if the mailing address you provided on your resume is not a good way of reaching you, that's your problem.

[NYe]

1. That they are common doesn't make them smart. Again, e-mail is a million times easier.
2. Of course, the problem of the person who doesn't get an offer is that they didn't get an offer. The missing letter doesn't really matter since it's a ding. It is still a waste of paper for Quinn to send the letters in the first place. You might say it's not that much a waste / they don't care, which is probably true. Still stupid.

This profession is as conservative and old-school as the fucking clap. Are you really surprised they have failed to fully embrace email rejection letters?

IDK why you are so worked up about this. It costs like five fucking cents to have the post office forward your mail anyway.

Got an offer from the DC office. Same day as callback.

..as is HR: states may have all kinds of laws requiring paper files and snail mail notifications.

[Anonymous User]

Got the "We will be in touch" email.

This is assumed to be standard, and I should not be at all thinking I have a CB awaiting correct?

Also, how/would you follow up to it? If at all?

Note: Sent materials a couple weeks ago

Thanks!

I got mine three business days after my CB. It seemed like there were a lot of people out of the office when I went in to interview; not sure whether that had any effect on the delay.

Quinn offerees - what are you evaluating post-OCI if you interviewed with other firms? Thinking that you will end up staying with your first offer, or going elsewhere?

a whole slew of v25 firms (several in v5) in new york and dc. quinn is still in the running.

Trying to decide if I want to commit 100% to litigation, which I THINK I do, but still feel nervous about closing off corporate entirely. Also geographical preference has changed for personal reasons.

Does anyone know if it would be acceptable to ask if I could summer at a different office than the one I interviewed at? LA vs. NYC.
