How fucked am I?

Post by Anonymous User » Wed Aug 26, 2015 8:44 pm

Looking in NY. I've had 7 callbacks, which I know is good (two rejections, 5 left to hear from). But It's been over a week for all but 2, and every firm I have left has a summer class of less than 10 people, which makes my chances a lot worse. I don't really want to pay for another semester of law school if I'm going to still be searching for a job ... so, before I take the odds and purchase textbooks, etc, how fucked am I?

It's still August; hang in there. Mass mail, talk to career services, look into secondary markets.

It's not too late, but you need to be on survival mode. Mass mail, network, check with CSO, etc.

(also, not-OPs... no need for anon response)

OP here. For others who may be in an similar situation now or in the future, I started doing targeted mass mails 2 days ago. Yesterday it turned out I don't need to continue to send those out - I got an offer from a firm I love! Hang in there guys :wink:
