What does everyone think about being at an OC firm when you are single? I really love the area and I know there are areas for singles outside of work, but I also know at a lot of these offices most people are married. Would a single guy be out of place in the firm environment?

Honestly, OC is not the best place for a young single. That being said, there are a lot worse places. Is it as great as LA/NYC/SF/Boston/MIamai? No. But it's better then a lot of other dumps.... maybe just a it more leg work.

I'm at UCI and I personally have a few CBs... I think I will likely get a few more.

What is the likelihood of CB's trickling in the week after OCI?

Very. Not all firms have the 48 hour turnaround.

I don't go to law school in CA, but I had CBs at GDC and OMM, and a screener from Latham. My understanding is that most callbacks will start this week. I've heard that OMM is planning on hiring 5 SAs and GDC already has two, and are planning on having ten more. Anyone know how quickly biglaw firms in OC extend offers?

K&L Gates callbacks are out

Call back from Haynes and Boone today. Anyone heard anything at all from Snell and Wilmer or Rutan and Tucker?

Biglaw OC attorney here and I understand the process. Happy to keep an eye on this thread and answer any questions. I think most firms here take a pretty fluid approach; they know the supply is limited so they will try to get good candidates before OCI if possible. But this also means that you shouldn't worry if you don't hear back right away on callback/offer. GDC has biggest class (12-15 is what I've heard), with O'MM and Latham being around 6-10. Then probably the next level down that has like 3-6 SA's (PH, JD, Snell). And then you have Knobbe but they are unique in their IP-ness.

As far as single life goes here, I think you'll have more free time at OC biglaw than LA/NYC/DC/SF to find someone, but obviously smaller city and less younger professionals. That said, I have plenty of single friends here that are doing well in terms of meeting people. Somewhat more leg-work because you can't step out of your office and have 20 bars to choose from in a 3-block radius like those other cities. But you can live at the beach and have a 15-minute commute, so that's a nice trade.

Are hours really less than they would be in LA or SF? I've heard they are about the same. Could you be more specific? I'm sure it will depend on practice group.
