Which firms dropped out?Anonymous User wrote:Interesting day to day to start this. Same day that the firm that has given out more offers to Michigan students in the last 6 years announced it was conducting massive layoffs, and soon after a bunch of firms dropped out of OCI.
But lets hope its only good news from now on. Good luck to everyone.
Don't want to out myself cause i've been talking about this with people today, like about specific firms. But just double-check your bid-lists. At least one firm and a particular office of a different firm are no longer on Symplicity. Career services doesn't guarantee once they show up they won't go away, firms get to figure that out, but it was just a little surprising.Anonymous User wrote:Which firms dropped out?Anonymous User wrote:Interesting day to day to start this.

Yea, I can't either. They also added a bunch of places in a really foolish way so now I'm just hoping that my list isn't screwed up and I didn't notice. Also to the anon that posted that, how could you be outted by telling us which firms dropped? Even if someone knew it was you, you would just be anon so all they would know is that you post on TLS, which I'm assuming they already know since you're worried about being outted.Anonymous User wrote:I still can't figure out which firms you're talking about...Anonymous User wrote:Don't want to out myself cause i've been talking about this with people today, like about specific firms.

Ok That's good. It didnt happen to you. I feel bad now cause I may have been a little over the top, and we might be looking at different markets. Plus these were not by any means major firms. But I did have to replace two or three of my bids so people should just be on the lookout until the deadline.

You can't tell which interviews you'll get when until after you get info back from OCS. My suggestion is to miss the thing Friday evening. I know it may seem important now, but this is the one week that actually matters long term.potted plant wrote:I have no idea which firms left either, but that's probably just because I haven't spent nearly enough time working on my bidlist.
Anybody want to weigh in on the relative awfulness of me missing all or part of Friday? I have to be somewhere out-of-state Friday evening/Saturday morning. Should I try to fit in two hours of interviews in the morning on Friday? Anybody think that would make a substantial difference? I really do want a job, promise.
Sorry, are you trying to say I can't know how much this will affect me until we get the schedule back? Or that I couldn't do interviews exclusively in the morning because I could be scheduled for any time? My understanding was I can put times that I'm not available and will definitely not get scheduled for those times. If I do that I know my chance of getting certain interviews goes down, but they won't give me an interview that I can't make right?Anonymous User wrote:You can't tell which interviews you'll get when until after you get info back from OCS.

The first. I just think potentially missing any interviews is an awful mistakepotted plant wrote:Sorry, are you trying to say I can't know how much this will affect me until we get the schedule back?

Fair enough. Thanks for the input.Anonymous User wrote: The first. I just think potentially missing any interviews is an awful mistake
FWIW, two years ago few firms actually interviewed on friday and the place was like a ghost town by noon. How many firms are you bidding on that are interviewing on friday? They typically have regions interviewing on the same days so if you're only targeting one city you can end up with most of your interviews over 3 days. It was actually a good day to pick up drop ins because a lot of people cancelled interviews (which pissed OCS off).Anonymous User wrote:You can't tell which interviews you'll get when until after you get info back from OCS.

Well, there are a number of firms doing interviews on both Thursday and Friday. Of those there are four that I'm very interested in. Then there are four interviewing only on Friday that I was considering bidding on, but they're pretty low on my list. Not really strong in the practice areas I'm looking at. Basically, I was just going to bid on them since they're in SF/SV and there are only so many firms from the bay coming to OCI.Anonymous User wrote: FWIW, two years ago few firms actually interviewed on friday and the place was like a ghost town by noon.

which firm?BuckinghamB wrote:Just saw a firm that explicitly states they're not hiring anyone in litigation, yet they still say they prefer moot court experience. Wtf?
Most of those reqs are garbage form language, I wouldn't rely on them too much.BuckinghamB wrote:Just saw a firm that explicitly states they're not hiring anyone in litigation, yet they still say they prefer moot court experience. Wtf?
