Any offers in Delaware? Callbacks?

Philly or NYC?

I have a NYC offer but (without going into detail) I believe I will have a Philly offer this week for $20K less. Focusing 90% on $$$ (COL, taxes, etc.), which would you choose? The other 10% is that Philly could turn into a long-term proposition whereas NYC jobs are rumored to short circuit within a few years.

FWIW: My grades are OK, nothing to write home about.

By "OK" do you suggest your at median or are you one of those if I'm not top 10% I'm a failure types?

I felt like I was starring in the LS version of “Trouble with the Curve.” Median (at best).

Anyone attend a Kaye Scholer CB?

Any news from them?

Went on one last week. Haven't heard yet either way.

What day? If you could post if/when you hear, that would be great. Just don't wanna be living with false hope. I will do the same.

Thanks. BTW: This was no piece of cake, given the daily pile of rejection letters and an I-Phone whose mission in life was being a ding magnet.

FWIW: In ref to Pepper. . . their hiring board met today so new offers should be in the wind shortly.

Weird. I had a cb with Cole a month ago (I sent them my resume). I do not go to Penn. Still haven't heard anything.
But, I did get an offer post cb from a V100 firm in Manhattan that pays $160K to first years. Isn't odd how some of these firms work? Not good enough for Cole, but good enough for the V100 firm.
Needless to say, I am not going to wait around for Cole to either accept or reject me. I will definitely take my NYC offer.
The point of this is, don't feel badly if you don't hear from some of these regional firms. You could always end up with a better offer in NYC.

Maybe not. Some of their offers will be declined. I know of what I speak. . .so, chin up!

Seems like things have calmed down in the last two weeks. Is that because there were a surge of offers recently? Everybody happy?

Out of curiosity, did anyone contact Harrington (I believe they are an all-female Philly litigation firm)?

I've had a few happenings that I've forgotten to update--Crowell & Moring CB/offer (DC), Foley and Lardner CB/no decision (NYC)
