Would a partner call you to turn you down? Forum

I'm sitting in class and got a missed call. I stepped out for a second to listen to the voicemail and it was a partner. They said to call them back when I get a chance. Class isn't over for a while and I freaking out a little. Good news or bad?

Yes, it happens more often than most might think. That said, it generally means that particular partner really liked you--which doesn't really make the rejection any less bitter.

A number of people have reported phone rejections. It's not the norm, but don't get your hopes up for an offer if they didn't make it in the message.

or alternatively, might call to say 'we're still thinking'

I got a call exactly like this ("hi this is the hiring partner from FIRM, call me back") and it was a rejection.

Until you return the call, just pray that he's calling to schedule your drug test - upon which your offer is contingent.

Haven't all of the OPs of these threads gotten a rejection so far?
