Anyone heard anything post-CB? Or have any info re callback/offer ratio?

I was told at my CB that the committee meets on Fridays.

Well that's not good. Had my CB almost two weeks ago.

Bump

Bump. Any news?

Different anon. Coming up on a week post-CB now. Bumpity bump.

Bumping again. Still radio silence for everyone?

Silence here. But I suppose silence for everyone is better than some people getting offers and some not.

I have a CB with them coming up soon, so maybe they're waiting until they're done with all the CBs before they make any decisions?

Offer here some time ago after a short waiting period.

Any pros/cons about this office? How does LW Chicago compare to other offices? Do TLSers say avoid only because of layoffs during the recession, or is there more to the story? I understand that layoffs (and the term Lathamed) are a big deal.

Since it seems that few have been given out, I think saying when could out me :/ It was over a week ago, though

Mind sharing how long about between CB and offer?

I had a CB with them fairly early in the cycle and just received a snail mail ding yesterday.

Anyone hear anything today?

Silence.

Yup.

So for all of us who haven't heard, are we just assuming dings? I realize Latham has a small class, but, as far as I can tell, there's only been one offer reported on TLS.

No. IIRC, a poster in another thread was told the committee wanted to see how the CBs shake out before making a large number of offers.

People have gotten offers from great firms after 2+ weeks post-CB. You're not out until the ding shows up in your mail.

Unsubstantiated rumor from someone at another chi firm that Latham is having problems...(no idea how true this is and I am still considering them)

Interested in this. What kind of problems...? What kind of rumor?

Rumor is that work has been very slow in a number of areas, people extremely worried about hitting billable hour requirements. This is not from someone who actually works at Latham.

Huh. I've heard just the opposite.
