STB offer - I'm one of those who posted upthread and was ghosted for a couple of weeks while people who interviewed on the same day were getting offers.

In other words: don't lose hope!

STB Callback gift email before my callback - you know what, thank you STB. I really appreciate it. The little things matter in this hellish process. Don't yet know what the gift is

DPW's offer is exploding before your school's OCI? Really?

So what's the protocol if you have a screener and the person just never shows up?

CB with Weil last Wednesday afternoon--still haven't heard back (as of Tuesday 2:30pm). Should I just give up waiting and move on?

I have my two-week anniversary with my STB callback on Thursday and my three-week anniversary with my DPW callback also on Thursday. Very excited for both.

It's not a great sign honestly. I interviewed last week and was offered within 36 hours. But anything is possible I suppose.

I got an offer 2+ weeks out, well after others who'd interviewed on the same day or afterwards did (if these boards are to be trusted). There's still hope!

DPW gives 28 days to accept the offer. I don't know where the other poster goes to school, but that puts me at a day before my school's OCI. Latham gives two weeks (haven't gotten an offer; just what they told me pre-CB), so that would also put me before OCI if they extend the offer in the next two weeks.

No but if you don’t hear by this Friday, I’d say you should chalk it up as an L and move on (but never know)

I have a CB with STB and an alum reached out and wanted to schedule a call with me beforehand. Is this normal?

What’s up w STB DC? Chambers doesn’t have a ton of info on that office. My schools data says they’re quite selective. Mostly M&A?

How long does it take to hear back from STB after CB? If it takes more than a week is it a bad sign.

Not an alum, but someone reached out to me before my cb.
