I don't know if you're getting how it works. Hiring partners aren't necessarily the most powerful partners in the firm. The whole point of the interviewing process is to furnish the partner with associates to work for them.911 crisis actor wrote:(Guy who was not a partner track summer associate)Anonymous User wrote:Stupidest post I've ever read on TLS. It's laughable that you think firms rely on whether someone was in the "partner pile" when considering that person for partner 8-12 years later. Making partner will be dependent on the quality of your work, your value to the firm, and relationships you have with existing partners.911 crisis actor wrote:Received an on the spot offer during one of my CBs and the partner told me this directly. Thought it was just marketing BS but I asked a family friend who's a partner at a biglaw firm, and he said that their hiring committee splits candidates into partner and non-partner piles, and that offers go to the partner-candidates first, usually within 72 hours after the callback.
You may be trolling, but if you're not, think about it like this: Why does it make sense for the firm to make any new partners unless their work is brilliant and their practice group requires brilliant work, or they bring in business?
