Re: Dinner With Partner, But No Offer?
nobody on this forum will know what this means. but having dinner with a partner (initiated by him) can't be bad.

Re: Dinner With Partner, But No Offer?
not exactly the same, but I got pretty close to a partner who conducted my screener interviewer and who gave me a callback, we met for drinks (not a general firm reception, just us) before the callback to talk about the firm and my "options" ect. and talked on the phone (nice conversation, very positive) the day after the callback, and I wound up not getting an offer. I wanted to email the partner after my rejection email to just be like really, wtf leading me on? But I didn't because I thought maybe I could reach out to him in case I wanted to switch it up at 3L oci or something
Moral of this story was, don't be fooled by the high opinion of one partner at a huge firm where a hiring committee makes decisions often in somewhat random and convoluted ways. To this day after this entire process I do not understand what the relationship between the screener interviewer and the final decision is: it seems like the screener interviewer often makes the offer call (unless its a day-of offer from the hiring partner), but they aren't involved in the actual decision post-CB.
ETA: also please don't quote. will delete.
