Congrats, OP. Still, a caveat for hopeful 2Ls: net increase in post-grad employment chances or it didn't happen.

I know someone that got an offer at a firm today. Smaller firm, but it's still a job, so yeah, there is still hope...but it's fleeting.

It is the pits right now. The options are few - RA, volunteer, etc. The firms are done except for an odd last minute at a smaller firm. Noboby is talking which to me means there are many in this same position, though maybe they all have jobs and are just being polite.

I've moved to cultivating hiring partner contacts for 3L. My grades have improved, so hopefully that will lead to something for OCI/massmailing.2LsAPlenty wrote:It is the pits right now.

It's really shitty the extent little screw-ups during a 2 week period fucked up my law school career.

After months of utter shit and despair, I received an offer yesterday (interviewed Friday) to be summer in-house at a major company for 1500/week. Such a damn relief.
But yea, there are still a few positions out there.

Wow, that is pretty good. A lot of folks on here would be happy to land something at half that pay.

Got an offer today. Keep hope alive

Landed an offer at a small firm for $1k/week and a pretty likely offer for in house at a F500 (pay TBD) in the last couple weeks.
Keep fighting the good fight, y'all. Really hit up those contacts, keep mass mailing, and keep your chin up.

+1. If I don't get an offer I'm really screwed. Don't really have time to send out additional apps/interview because finals are just starting for me.Anonymous User wrote:reading this post makes me die inside as i study for my last final and await news from an interview i did 2 weeks ago

Just did a tally: 55 screeners, 5 CBs and 1 offer at an unpaid government job I got without an interview.

For all the jobs I knew before, most have gone and are out the door ....

Sounds a bit like an interviewing problem, man. That's a metric ton of screeners and a horrible screener-CB ratio for you.Anonymous User wrote:Just did a tally: 55 screeners, 5 CBs and 1 offer at an unpaid government job I got without an interview.
