OK to mass-mail offices of firms whose main office saw you @ OCI? Forum

[Anonymous User]

and who either rejected you or haven't back to you?

E.g., say I interviewed with Smith & Thompson NY @ OCI. They haven't gotten back to me.
Should/can I mass mail their LA, Chicago, etc. offices too?

Or will the "I have family everywhere" story raise eyebrows if one office coordinates all other offices, even though NALP lists separate contacts for each one?

Don't

Any particular reason why?

Some firms at our OCI made separate hiring decisions — each office would interview separately and they might reject you for one office and offer you at another. Obviously, the odds of them dinging you are pretty high. But they can't do anything to you but reject you again, so nothing to lose. Go for it.

ETA: misread your post. Below anon is right, don't do this for firms that haven't rejected you yet.

The reason I would say don't is because you have not heard anything yet, so they still may be in the process of determining what to do with your application. If you had already been rejected, I agree, absolutely do it. I think a majority of firms do make separate hiring decisions (by office), but some do not and there is a chance the office you are applying to will find out that you have applied to a different office. Which may raise some eyebrows, especially if it differs from what you said during the screener interview. Depending on when your interview was, I'd wait a at least until mid/late this week to mass mail that particular firm's other offices.
