Finished 2L SA, how do i leverage that offer with other firms?

Post by Anonymous User » Mon Aug 03, 2015 11:16 am

Hi all,

I finished my summer and received an offer to come back after graduation. I'm not 100% sold on my future after the summer (I'll be stuck in a practice group I'm not crazy about). How do I leverage this offer and what is the best way to try and get an offer from another firm at this point? Mass mail? Would it just be easier to work there for a year and then try to lateral? At that point I'd be a year behind, if I was even able to lateral to a different practice group.

The firm was V50, main office. I'm T14 median-ish.

You should have already started mass mailing. Get that going ASAP and snag a few interviews via 3L OCI.

Some 3L's in this thread are keeping track of which firms are and are not interviewing 3L candidates.
