Second "1L" Summer Job? Forum

[dzhy1997]

Happy holidays everyone! Long time lurker here. So I've been taking a year-long medical leave since Fall 2023 and am planning to return to school next fall (will become a fresh 2L). I just wonder if I should get another summer job in Summer 2024, or it does not hurt since I got one in 2023?

In addition, I struck out of the past OCI so I can only do Pre-OCI next summer per school policy. Will firms still consider me as a "1L" (so I can apply for 2L SA) and do I need to submit an addendum illustrating my situation? Any advice on re-applying for the same firm (same/different location) or I should focus my time somewhere else?

I do not know anyone around me who has similar situation, and the career office did not give me a definite answer, so I guess my best bet is to ask here

Appreciate it your help!

Not sure about the second set of questions, but it can only help to get more work experience this coming summer. What else would you be doing?
