Only if Jimmy Johns can deliver lunch to the same place every day without Internet access.

One recruiter at Sterne Kessler told me they plan on making call back decisions immediately, and that I should here Monday-Wednesday. The other recruiter that I was close with told me I should here from them on Monday. I think a good sign, no? Either way, they will be in touch with the people they like very shortly!

Ding - jjs is too inefficient either way, they allow their workers to answer the phone to take orders and answer questions. It's a shame, freaky fast delivery would be a perfect fit

How dangerous is it to schedule callbacks late, like Aug 20th+ ? OCI is making it difficult to schedule sooner.

IMO that's not really late because of most OCI dates.

Yep. Turned down the CB bc they're located in the frozen tundra and their offer rate for the previous summer scared me a lil bit, but they seem like a chill firm

Does it matter if they're GP firms? I'm concerned they may do most of their IP hiring via PLIP but maybe that's foolish.

I had a hard time scheduling anything before August 15th last year. Firms "weren't ready."
