Haven’t heard back after accepting offer
I accepted an offer from a v5 firm last OCI in NY but haven’t heard anything back about the start date or background check yet. Is this normal? Thanks!

It depends on the firm; there is nothing concerning about not hearing anything. Radio silence even into March is not concerning or unusual.

Totally normal — V5 firms typically move on these things slowly because they are physically dragged down by all the heavy prestige they carry.

(In all seriousness, this is nothing to worry about. When I was in your shoes a few years ago, I heard nothing until from my [admittedly non-V5] firm until mid-March, and I believe that was on the early side relative to some of my other 2L friends.)

Re: Haven’t heard back after accepting offer
Almost adorable how obvious it is that the raison d'etre of this post is to mention "v5"
ETA: also, this means you've been blacklisted. Retake.

Re: Haven’t heard back after accepting offer
OP here. The reason for “v5” is because afaik, 4 of the 5 has already communicated to their summers about plans; I was originally hoping somebody from the firm would know something more.
No reason for me to be “flexing” v5 using an anon post on a Sunday night, but now looking back on it, realize it could’ve come off as cringey
Thanks everyone!
