Sidley (Dallas) CB

Have you heard back? Had a CB with Sidley Houston last Friday so I wasn't sure if the firm was just moving slow

I interviewed with them this week but they said they wait until after they interview everyone before giving offers. Said we will probably hear back early next week!

Thank you! I hope they follow the same course for Houston. Are you applying for Transactional as well?

Got one from Fried Frank this Tuesday. Did CB before OCI.

Anybody hear back from STB NY?

Has anyone been ghosted by what feels like an unusually large # of firms? Have a couple of CBs in NY and one in DC over the next two weeks, and have been stunned by the lack of communication from the others. I was under the impression that post-OCI would be much more responsive, for good or ill. Guess I was wrong. I did screeners with around 20 firms fwiw.

I'm in the same boat, couple callbacks in NY market but definitely been ghosted by a bunch of firms and did the same amount of screeners as you. Seems like a tough year all-around.

Are you talking mainly about Texas firms? Because I am in the same boat. Zero response. I guess no news is good news but this long period of silence feels like a bunch of not so soft rejections.

Our callbacks will be towards the end of firms' recruiting because UT held OCI so much later than a lot of schools. Seems like we're competing for fewer spots

Yep, I almost completely struck out at OCI. Fewer screeners than the two of you, but I had only one callback. I found firms to be much more receptive during pre-OCI recruiting, and luckily I locked something up then.

Awful. I feel like CSO and some other folks really steered me wrong on bidding, pre-OCI stuff, etc. A lot is on me, but idk.

Look like NY market is so competitive this year.

Weil ding post callback.
No offer from NY market now.

Did 20-ish screeners, only have 4 CB. I get 3 of them on the day of screener day, the other one I got it earlier this week. Ghosted by most of the firms, particularly the Texas firms. I guess those silence are hopeless waitlist/rej.

Thanks for responding! I'm outside the 48 hour window and I'm not really sure if that's bad news or not. We were all supposed to hear within that time good or bad.

Would you mind sharing initials of Akin interviewer?

bump. Anyone have offers from Texas? This thread has practically been all NY and DC results so I wonder what the local response has been.
