I would choose Katten, too. The firm is in great shape financially.Anonymous User wrote:I'd choose Katten. I heard they are one of the few Chicago firms in good shape.

Cuz they told me in my interview . . . I'm kidding. Okay, it is more hearsay than anything else, but for what it's worth, I just accepted an offer with Katten.Anonymous User wrote:Anonymous User wrote:I would choose Katten, too.

how do you know?
OP, do you have offers from all those firms? Because that looks exactly like my callback season to a tee and the fact that I've heard zip from all of them frightens me - especially if you have offers on the table.Anonymous User wrote:Winston, McDermott, Schiff Hardin, Baker McKenzie, Katten Muchin.

i have offers from 3 of them at this point.Anonymous User wrote:OP, do you have offers from all those firms?

Would you mind sharing which ones? I'm guessing that you've got Katten, Winston and Schiff - it seems like they've mobilized their offer mills.Anonymous User wrote:i have offers from 3 of them at this point.Anonymous User wrote:OP, do you have offers from all those firms?

Congrats. Katten's a great firm. I have a friend who works there and he loves it. Sounds like a humane firm with interesting work.Anonymous User wrote:Cuz they told me in my interview . . .

Is this a joke?Anonymous User wrote:I'd take Sidley, Kirkland, or Mayer over any of them probably.
No they are good firms that are hiring more people. I know people that got offers at these three that struck out at the five listed. So it is still relevant information. In fact, I am one of those people.PiersonVee wrote:Is this a joke?Anonymous User wrote:I'd take Sidley, Kirkland, or Mayer over any of them probably.
you are an idiot in addition to being a douche. don't you think OP would have mentioned them if he/she had gotten offers/CBs there? but i forget that people like you constantly feel the need to proclaim to the world how great they are.Anonymous User wrote:No they are good firms that are hiring more people.

Ha, fair enough. At first glance, your comment seemed analogous to someone that hops on a Mich vs. Penn thread and posts that Harvard or Yale would be much better choices.Anonymous User wrote:No they are good firms that are hiring more people.
