Re: Fall 2021 Post-Clerkship Hiring
I’m expecting a long, slow cycle, but am still hopeful that hiring picks up by Jan-March.

Re: Fall 2021 Post-Clerkship Hiring
I've gotten one screener-style interview and one more serious interview so far from boutiques. True BigLaw firms are still absolutely radio silent -- hoping things are better in the new year.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 4:44 pmHave firms started reaching out to chambers for anyone else? I've received one email about a virtual reception (lol) in a few weeks but that's it so far, although even receiving one this early was surprising

Re: Fall 2021 Post-Clerkship Hiring
That makes sense. Thanks!Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 3:32 pm@purplegoldtornado, I'm applying broadly bc who knows what'll happen with the old firm. The offer on my way out seemed pretty firm, but that's far from binding. It'll also help leverage for a clerkship bonus if they attempt to get rid of that. There's no indication that they'll do any of the above (in fact, they're among those that gave an early fall bonus..) but as employees, we have to look out for ourselves. Knocking on wood that we don't see something like '08.

Re: Fall 2021 Post-Clerkship Hiring

Re: Fall 2021 Post-Clerkship Hiring
Now is probably the time to start. The hiring market is beginning to heat up. I accepted an offer from the first choice in my home market (not traditional big law) about two weeks ago and had to cancel some other callbacks and screening interviews (including both a boutique and a V10).ughbugchugplug wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 5:16 pmIf I’m not going back to my old firm when should I be submitting apps?

Can't help you with the AUSA question though.

Re: Fall 2021 Post-Clerkship Hiring
Were the boutique and V10 in your home market too, or NY/DC? Just wondering if there are differences in timeline, because I heard from a DC biglaw hiring partner that they don't typically start reviewing applications until JanuaryAnonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 5:21 pmNow is probably the time to start.
