Finnegan DC offer on 8/8, callback 8/6.

Finnegan gives offers within 2 days?? They told me two weeks!

Covington DC callback 8/13 --> ding 8/16

Is it too soon to follow up with a screener 9 days ago? I've had radio silence since then from my top-choice firm, but I have a pre-OCI offer which is going to expire in a couple weeks. I'm not sure I can afford to wait but don't want to seem too desperate.

They did for me. I didn't accept their offer though, so I hope you'll get my spot!

Had cb 8/16, was told they're having an offering meeting 8/21 and I would hear either way

Gibson offer

CB date? Been more than a week for me, guessing that's a ding.

Earlier this week. Heard they meet weekly

Is a longer than one week wait after having a CB necessarily indicative of a ding?

Would like to know this as well. I have heard mixed things depending on the firm but no clear answer.

Radio silence since Tuesday CB with Baker & Mckenzie... has anyone heard back from them/ know what their timeline is?

Latham CB 8/7 --> ding 8/8
WilmerHale CB 8/10 --> ding 8/16
Cleary CB 8/15 --> offer 8/17

Does anyone know anything about Goodwin or Fried Frank?

Goodwin recruiter said we should know within a week of the CB.

Just FYI, I had a callback with them on Tuesday the 7th and it’s been radio silence for me as well. Hoping for movement early next week.

I’ve actually been looking for some insight into the firms OCI procedures. Is this typical?

Im actually a 3L but I had a cb with Baker DC last summer. They literally never got back to me. Dead silence, never even a rejection email, even after following up numerous times. I can't speak for the other offices, but DC didn't have their shit together last summer.

Well that’s slightly concerning. Do you know of any other CB candidates that did hear back/a timeline? Thanks for the info you’ve already provided.

I think the top DC firms that have big classes (Covington, Gibson, Hogan, Wilmer, Kirkland) have a pretty good turn around time because they have alot of spots to fill. Outside of that, it's hard to say because response time may vary based on the candidate.

No. Many firms have a list of waitlist candidates after CBs. For instance, when I did OCI, I received a Gibson offer three weeks after my CB.

How quick does Kirkland move after callbacks?

Any news from Nixon Peabody?
