Sorry man, that sucks.
Did you see it coming? Range of firm? |

Date: September 2nd, 2010 3:53 PM Author: gay know-it-all ladyboy Not vault. Regional midlaw.
TBF, I saw it coming from the last half of the summer or so onward. Tried to stay optimistic.
Talked to the hiring partner. . . got the whole "it's not you, it's us" speech. . . they offered to write recommendations and whatever else. |

Date: September 2nd, 2010 3:56 PM Author: gay know-it-all ladyboy Yes, yes it is. Don't really know where to go from here. I think I'm too late to apply for fed clerkships at this point (and I don't think I'd really be competitive anyways). I guess state clerkships, gov't positions, etc. are the way to go.

What happened man? Poor work product? Missed deadlines? Pissed off a partner? |
|
Date: September 2nd, 2010 3:59 PM Author: gay know-it-all ladyboy None of the above. I worked my ass off and never missed a deadline. They just don't have "capacity."

Sorry man, that's the shittiest of all. |
|
Date: September 2nd, 2010 4:05 PM Author: gay know-it-all ladyboy Yeah. I directly asked if it was performance-related, and the hiring partner said that it wasn't at all, that they really thought I did good work, fit in well, etc. A number of parters offered to serve as references or write recommendations. Makes me feel better about myself, but fucking hopeless about the prospect of getting a job ITE. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1412586&forum_id=2#15948833) |

|
|
Date: September 2nd, 2010 4:06 PM Author: gay know-it-all ladyboy What? Because I heard numerous attorneys in the office talking about how shitty the economy was, I could see that younger associates were struggling to get work, and at the exit interview they basically told all of us SAs that they didn't know if they'd be able to make any offers b/c of the economy.

the ole' cold offer. |
|
Date: September 2nd, 2010 6:32 PM Author: gay know-it-all ladyboy I didn't ask. I mean, they might be willing to do that, but it seems weird to ask, and I'm not all that comfortable lying to future employers.
I mean, the hiring partner said I can use her as a reference. And I can get a LOR from her or probably any partner I worked for up there. The cold offer idea doesn't seem worth it to me. |
