2010 v. 2009 SA Market
Based on what we have seen here with regard to how many firms are showing up to campuses, I am going to have to go with slightly worse. So much for everyone last year suggesting that firms were too conservative with SA hiring.

A little easier. Still hard.
More firms, offices, and interview slots at my school.

People who are seeing data from the '39 firms to ND, uh oh' thread and thinking it means this year will be WORSE are, sadly, displaying their naivete with respect to how bad it already was.
I've seen Columbia and UVA data explicitly showing many more firms coming and conducting many more interviews than they did in 2009.
Hiring appears to be looking most up at top firms. Amongst the most selective firms coming to UVA (think: V10, top DC firms, etc.) they are conducting more interviews for 2010 OGI than they did in '06 or '07.
Firms that were not at OGI/OCI at all last year are conducting dozens of interviews this year.
Lateral hiring has picked up. Many people are receiving recruiting phonecalls.
It won't be rosy, but I have not seen any data point analyzed by any informed and competent individual suggesting hiring will be down. 0Ls must learn the difference between "I was imperfectly informed about how dire hiring already was" and "hiring is going to be worse than it was."

I voted a little easier. If nothing else, I wouldn't wish the bloodbath that was last year's OCI on anyone.

I think the fact that we all have some idea of what is about to happen, and can plan accordingly, is going to help. But I am still skeptical about whether firms are going to hire.steve_nash wrote:I voted a little easier. If nothing else, I wouldn't wish the bloodbath that was last year's OCI on anyone.
Of course, until we actually get an offer in hand, we should probably all be hoping that firms have been drastically underhiring and will be desperate to hire 3Ls in a couple of year's time.
