Want to know if anyone has applied, started hearing back etc

Nothing yet here

I threw a couple of apps, but I don’t expect much. I work at the DOJ doing civil lit, but I don’t have securities experience.

depends on the office -- not all value securities stuff as much as others (although NY/DC will definitely)

I threw apps to the Miami openings. Not hopeful.

I got asked for more documents today. I have 3+ years securities law experience; applied last month.

can you provide more details?

office you heard from (unless you don't want to out)?

how long from closing of application period until you heard back?

was it the first thing you've heard since?

I was asked for more documents on Friday. No prior securities experience. Applied last month for a DC opening.

It was a position with the DC office. I think it closed around Memorial Day. It was the first thing I have heard. I definitely have my fingers crossed.

thanks for all of the info here. best of luck to you.

also, how did you guys hear back re: more docs? i want to know if i should be more depressed about not getting any phone calls or not getting any emails.

I didn’t get a request form the SEC, and don’t expect to get one, but in my experience agencies usually send an email requesting additional documents. I had one not too long ago request a writing sample and performance evaluations before extending an interview invitation. The interview invite came pretty quickly after receiving the document request.

weekly bump.

Increasingly desperate midweek bump

Plaintive, resigned to defeat bump

I didn’t apply but I have heard at least one office with positions is interviewing now. It was a secondary office on the east coast.

Miami?

It was not Miami that I heard about. I have no info one way or another about Miami.

congrats, good luck, and jeez it took 5+ weeks between the request for more docs and the interview request?

got a phone call for an interview 6+ weeks after the application window closed.

Anyone know if you can get to the SEC if your legal employment has been in tax?

Can anyone offer feedback on the interview process?
