Responding to congratulation emails?

Post by Anonymous User » Sun Aug 23, 2015 1:47 pm

I've had the pleasure of receiving some offers where a good number of the people I've interviewed with have reached out to congratulate me on the offer. What is the proper way to respond? Obviously thank them for the kind words. But how much more should I be saying?

If it helps, the offers are from Chicago and Bay Area firms. Thanks in advance.

Is this the same person who didn't know how to respond to an offer phone call?

It saddens me to think that even these aspies have several offers.

Maybe "these aspies" have offers because they would rather ask for advice even when people find it necessary to flame them for no reason.

To OP: Congrats! I think short emails are fine. If you do plan to do a second look or call someone to get more information on the firm, you may want to give them a heads up. If you really have nothing to say, not responding should also be fine. These are busy people and probably won't notice. If you do end up accepting an offer, it would be a nice touch to respond and let these attorneys know. Don't overthink it! You've done things right up til now and you'll be fine.
