If nothing moves today, the next open day isn't until Wednesday the 19th. Also I keep checking, and there are still a ton of interview slots open for M-F next week, so there HAS to be more JS1s today

this post just bought me another few hours of desperate checking for emails

[sinfiery]

From what I can tell, people only posted they got JS1s for like a 2-3 hour time frame.


I figure they get off at 5-6 pm. so...90 more minutes of constantly refreshing my email sounds like the bare minimum.

f__k it, I'll speculate.

Phones will ring starting at 2. That'll go for an hour or so. Emails will start flying at 3:30.

OK, well it makes me feel better to share the insanity with all of you. I think my phone's home button is going to break from constant checking.

Well this ain't happening today. Beer it is.

+1.

Until we give up, nothing will happen.

I'm saving that for next Friday. Tonight: wine from a box.

Or just dump it all in a big bucket and pretend you're an undergrad again.

Make sense this does not.

[taf889]

I'm frankly disappointed at how un-neurotic and reasonable you all are being. I will probably continue staring at my phone until late this evening.

[sabanist]

So speculation consensus is the 19th/21st?

[kingsfield69]

Don't believe any of these posts. No one will stop looking at the phone until 5 PM. I think at that point, you gotta figure JS is rolling into her weekend.

It still stands to reason that JS1s must go out. I think it's plausible to believe that they've been spending the day determining who's getting a JS1 in this round. Then again, I'm wrong most of the time. With Lavitz not posting at the moment and Yoda obviously drunk already, our speculative powers are diminished.

I thought it was next Friday! Y'all need to make up your minds.

+1. The 14th is our next obvious JS2 window according to posts earlier this week, right?

[one_by_one]

Make sense this does not.

Especially considering all the open interview slots next week!!

I'm still holding out hope for JS1s.

They could be revising next week's schedule. Maybe they fell behind this week and need to re-roll everything.

This makes too much sense. And it's quite depressing for those of us still holding out hope for the JS1

The 14th has a bunch of open JS1 slots :/

Hmmm. The fact the JS1s for next week are still wanting leads to the conclusion they are not in position to offer them yet, meaning they are looking at JS0 files and working the JS1 issue. This would seem to be bad news for us JS2 hopefuls, but would imply the JS1 crowd should be hearing something any time.

Here's a thought that falls somewhere between tantalizing and gut-wrenching: if they are behind, will they work this weekend? Is there a precedent for it?

For the sake of their sanity, I hope not. I'm sure we'll see a lot of movement in the next couple of weeks, and the previously mentioned super quick turnarounds happened near Christmas. Going into crunch mode this early would seem like overkill.

[Anonymous4444]

It's unfortunate because after a few more days of this getting a JS1 won't even matter I'll be clinically insane I doubt I'll interview that well

[KTG]

all js2's have been phone calls, correct? no email js2's ever?

I think some people have made special arrangements to get emails instead of calls, such as if they're living in another country. Could be wrong.
