Anyone gotten post CB news from DC offices?

I've interviewed with a few, and they were pretty much all clear that they won't be sending decisions until around next week, if not later. I'm sure not all DC firms are like this, but I haven't seen any offers from mine go out thru the HLS, GULC, NYU etc. threads.

One firm told me decisions will be out in a week (CB end of last week).

Another firm's hiring partner said, "We will move quickly within a couple days." But the recruiting person said 1-2 weeks from CB. I'd like to believe the partner has a better sense but who knows

Any CA offers?

Offer from Irell. Got dinged post-callback at Simpson LA and Kirkland LA.

Congrats on Irell! What was the average turnaround from CB to response for these firms?

Mind sharing the firms? I didn't think to ask my first CB about timeline.

Irell was really quick. CB the night of screener and offer the night of CB. The other two made decisions within a week.

I just got a CB from WilmerHale LA which I interviewed with during regional. That’s like 3 weeks later.

Only heard of movement from a couple and not been seeing more movement than that in other schools threads. Seems like they are slow. Wondering if it'll just be into next week before we hear anything either way from most at this point.

Yes. Did not bid DC but have friends who did and some have a few offers from the big DC firms already.

A friend received an offer from Covington DC early this week.

Seeing more and more classmates accept offers. The other school threads seem to indicate a challenging cycle. How's everyone doing here?

L.A. guy here. Still waiting on a few good callbacks from last week to come back with their decisions. Can't complain about my cycle though. Didn't get all the CBs I thought I would but whoever does?

OP here. I'm also hoping to end up in CA so I'm in the same boat! Have you heard of any movement over the weekend?

Nothing over the weekend.

Starting this bad boy back up for this year. How did everyone end up bid wise? I feel like certain DC firms are in super high demand while others (W&C surprisingly) are being given away for free.

I got north of 25 bids, including every D.C. shop except Wilmer and Cooley. Already have a few offers in hand, so now trying to get rid of as many interviews as I can (including W&C).

Based on what people are asking for—and the first failed rates—there seems to have been a lot of clueless bidding this year.

Day 1 in the books for me - feeling decent about how things went. How is everyone else feeling?

Bump. Anyone hear anything? Radio silence over here.

Covington NY CB just now

Nothing. But I have it on good authority that they move a bit slower than the NYC firms (I.e., CBs don't necessarily come through within 24 hours, more like 48) so I haven't lost all hope yet.

Anyone hear anything from Paul Weiss or Debevoise?
