You should be fine. Grades matter more if the candidate didnt have an SA/coming from lower ranked school.Anonymous User wrote:What would be the grade cutoff for a position like that?

Mid T14, GPA bottom 10%, SA at a mid-size firm. Do I have chances?

At bottom 10%, it’ll be tough. Are you going to be/were you in a specialty group?Anonymous User wrote:Mid T14, GPA bottom 10%, SA at a mid-size firm. Do I have chances?

I think Kirkland and Ellis in Houston is looking to hire some 3Ls now; they seem to be hiring pretty aggressively so might be worth looking into? Best of luck!

It seems like they’re expanding. If you’re into doing private funds or whatever, I’m sure they’d consider you.Anonymous User wrote:^^Different anon then the above wondering about K&E Boston. I was asking because I'm interested to see if its hiring 3Ls.

Re: 2018 3L Hiring for Firms?
Dude, a 3.76 still puts you well within top quarter at every T14 I know of. Add a 2L SA and clerking on top of that, and I think youre gonna be just fine...Anonymous User wrote:Also interested in this, clerking but not super happy about where I summered.

Can we get a running list of firms hiring 3Ls and their locations?
Also when do we start applying?

Re: 2018 3L Hiring for Firms?
If you can't get a job in this big law boom economy, not many people can. Why would they look at just 1L grades if you have other grades? That makes absolutely no sense. I don't get why you guys would even ask that question.Anonymous User wrote:Also interested in this, clerking but not super happy about where I summered.

Re: 2018 3L Hiring for Firms?
I am 3.1 ish at top 7. I've been in-house at the same large company the past two years. Gpa and lack of SA is going to hurt me a lot. any advice?

Don't mean to be a downer, but it was super hard to get a 3L position when I tried two years ago. The only people from my T13 who pulled it off were kids in the top 25% of the class or URMs. You shouldn't go in expecting much -- it'll be much easier to lateral later on

I'm basically having coffee/lunch with all the contacts I have with people from the firms I'm interested to work and inserting during the conversation that although the firm I'm currently SA'ing is a great place, I'm looking for a change next year.Anonymous User wrote:Timeline/strategy for looking at other firms after SA?

Re: 2018 3L Hiring for Firms?
Same experience here. Only people from my T6 last year that managed to get 3L offers either did a 2L SA, had top grades by the end of 2L, or had significant pre-law school connections at the firm they got a 3L offer at.Anonymous User wrote:Don't mean to be a downer, but it was super hard to get a 3L position when I tried two years ago.
