2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
Thought I'd add a spot to post pre-OCI happenings/timelines/advice. Past threads have had useful information.

Re: 2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
Thanks! I want to know when will we start to see movements in NY? Also, does pre-oci usually contain a screener or goes straight to CB?

Re: 2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
FWIW, I believe it is usually straight to call back and I believe STB NY has started interviews.

Re: 2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
Never applied, just networked really hard. I got a screener offer about a week after giving an associate my resume, then a callback offer a week after the screener.staygoldenponyboy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 06, 2022 9:42 pmHow long did the turn around from submitting your application --> screener and screener --> take for you?Anonymous User wrote: ↑Mon Jun 06, 2022 6:29 pmAnyone know much about LA timelines?

Re: 2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
A lot of NYC firms just posted on our symplicity site yesterday. Imagine they will start scheduling pre OCI interviews next week or week after, once apps roll in.

Re: 2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
re timelines, things will move fast if they want you. I wouldn’t stress too much about application —> screener/cb as sometimes schedules just don’t work or applications slip through the cracks for a week, but everything after that should typically be <1 week turnaround. This is my experience in NY specifically.
STB, for example, is typically cb—> offer within a week. anything longer than a week you’re being effectively waitlisted. again though, this was NY - I did pre-oci in a smaller market and waited a month between screener and cb

Re: 2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
Been applying for the past two weeks and got a V20 callback earlier this week. Feeling kinda anxious that I won't hear back from another firm again... Also, does anyone know what the chances of pre-OCI CB --> offer are?

Re: 2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
Just adding another data point. Applied broadly from mid-May - early June. Received 2 callback requests last week (V10 and V20). Had callbacks this week, one went from CB --> offer in ~24 hours. Haven't heard from the other yet.

Re: 2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
For those who’ve gotten offers - how long are they giving you to accept/reject? Is 14 days the industry standard?

Re: 2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
AFAIK, firms apply the same policy they would apply to offers if they were given at OCI. So if they were holding open for 2 weeks after OCI for OCI interviews, they will hold open until 2 weeks after OCI for pre-OCI interviews.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sun Jun 12, 2022 4:02 pmno the industry standard is 14 days after OCI.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sat Jun 11, 2022 11:36 amFor those who’ve gotten offers - how long are they giving you to accept/reject?

Anecdote (did pre-OCI in NYC last year) BUT things move very fast.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 8:39 amre timelines, things will move fast if they want you.

Firms that went direct to call back extended callbacks within 3-4 of applications. The firms that did screeners (Skadden, Wilkie, Latham, and MoFo) extended callbacks within 2ish days of the screener.
Offers range a little more but still generally quick. Davis Polk took ~7 business days. PW was ~3 business days (Wednesday -> Monday, believe their committee meets on a Friday). Simpson and SullCrom were next day. Debevoise was same day ~2 hours after interview. Cravath was at the end of interview.
Rejections take much longer: Latham rejection took ~a month. If someone just disappears, they are likely waiting on other applicants to interview or you're getting slapped with the dong.
It also kinda does feel a bit random - to this day I do not understand my Latham dong.
That's all the time line insight my ass has.

Re: 2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
Is it okay to ask which firms are doing direct callbacks? Also, is pre-oci a thing for V20-30 ish firms, especially white&case, cooley, goodwin and orrick? Thanks!
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
