Has anyone received a Cadwalader offer (or post-callback rejection)?

Thanks and congrats. I had my interview several weeks ago and still haven't heard anything so I guess I won't hold my breath.

I'm the poster above who mentioned an offer. Yes, it was NY. I think the firm got started a bit later with cbs though, so my guess is that the class is nowhere near full at this point.

My last interviewer told me it sometimes takes them 3-5 weeks to extend offers so I don't really know what to expect, especially since you received yours in 3 days. I am getting a little frustrated though because my other contending offer may reach its expiration date before cadwalader even decides to get back to me. I don't know if I should call them or what. Lame.

You need to call - it's standard procedure and the recruiters will absolutely not think you're weird.

Was I the only one who really loved the firm? The associates all seemed really cool and down-to-earth.

Yeah, I really liked them too. They were by far my favorite call-back.

Other than the views from their office space (which were amazing), I had trouble finding much to like myself.

I have a CB this week. Any chance the likes/not like can expand on these? Want to get an idea of what types to expect. Thanks :).

Mind telling us where you go to school and your journal status?

At my cb: one guy who was obviously trying to ask tough questions/put me on the spot; two really nice guys mostly looking to answer questions; one associate who basically told me not to work at cadwalader. no interaction with any recruiting staff, which was kind of weird i thought.

Above median, secondary journal at a top 10. Basically, nothing special. Don't want to go into detail because the offer is relatively fresh, apparently.

Was the associate who told you not to work there, by chance, black? Just wondering if we had the same guy, or if everyone hates their job?


Also, a friend interviewed same day, got a callback 3 days later, I haven't been rejected yet, so maybe they are holding onto my file.

Looks like disdain for cadwalader is ushering us into a post-racial america. We had different associates.

I figured it was the vaguest description I could give without outing the interviewer, as much as he hates his job, I'd hate to get him fired.

From what I've heard, pretty much no biglaw associate enjoys their jobs. This is total conjecture, but I think Cadwalader associates may be more willing to express their feelings honestly because the firm has a more "up front" culture.
