Date: July 30th, 2014 3:00 AM Author: Mind-boggling internal respiration I'm at a regional office of a biglaw firm. Just found out we no-offered all 4 of our summers because they were "weird." I didn't talk to them all summer because I'm over it, but how the fuck did recruiting fuck up that bad that not 1 of the 4 summers was likeable enough to bring on board. We typically do 100% offers, and we've been hiring tons of laterals because we're so busy. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2631760&forum_id=2#26027169) |

Date: July 30th, 2014 5:11 AM Author: Claret provocative dog poop "weird" is a shitty reason. This is the sort of thing I'm talking about when I say that American corporate culture is more rigid than ever: if you don't fit in on various mostly irrelevant dimensions, you're fucked.

Date: July 30th, 2014 9:18 PM Author: Claret provocative dog poop Exactly, this isn't little league, this is a law firm--focused on making money. You're probably better off with a weirdo than a semi-incompetent. However, this sort of fit matters more than it used to be. I suspect that America is more conformist in this way at least partly because of the very slack labor market. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2631760&forum_id=2#26031474) |

Date: July 30th, 2014 10:01 PM Author: Claret provocative dog poop You may be correct--maybe I'm wrong that it's more profitable to keep a weirdo. Nevertheless, proves my point about the increasing rigidity of American corporate culture. The nature of business today is different and actually less tolerant of weirdness.

Date: July 30th, 2014 3:11 PM Author: galvanic haunting becky I was working 30k shitlaw with a boomer boss who couldn't use a computer so he made me solicit resumes for my replacement when I quit and one of the applicants was a top 5% t14 no offered summer. I gave his resume to my boss. He threw it in the trash. He interviewed a Cooley grad the next day. |

Date: August 6th, 2014 12:42 AM Author: Tantric School Knife obviously this is flame, but there's a nugget of truth here. my uncle is partner at a shitlaw firm in are country and says he wouldn't even consider hiring HLS or YLS grads because 1) he knows they probably wouldn't stay and 2) he thinks they're all pricks (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2631760&forum_id=2#26071104) |

Date: July 30th, 2014 8:31 PM Author: Lascivious trailer park hissy fit I had a friend who told me about a summer at her firm who was aspie beyond belief. Among other bizarre behavior, he apparently didn't show up for work for three days without telling anyone. When he came back and people asked where he had been, he said he was too busy to come to work because he was "cooking." Sometimes it's hard to tell how aspie a person really is after just a couple short interviews. If someone is so aspie that they will randomly decide not to come to work, there isn't really an alternative to cutting them loose.

Like would not know when to talk in a conversation bad, walks really weird while violently swinging arms in perfect precision with hands completely flat, not wearing matching clothing at all. T14 top 2%, 4.0 top UG. SA got an offer and will fit in just fine with the other misfit toys. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2631760&forum_id=2#26031249) |

Date: August 6th, 2014 12:52 AM Author: Deranged public bath hairy legs props for keeping a positive attitude i guess, but being no offered for "fit" is basically a law firm telling you that your personality is complete shit -- to the extent that you stand about amongst a group of socially inept lawyers in your social ineptness.

Date: August 6th, 2014 1:01 AM Author: Deranged public bath hairy legs there are tons of ppl for whom biglaw is a square hole/round peg situation. but it's almost always the peg that realizes the problem before the hole. for biglaw to have detected you to be a terrible fit within just a few weeks means that you presented yourself so badly to a critical mass of people you interacted with that there was no doubt in their minds that you would fail. that's hard to do. did the experience cause you to undergo any self-reflection about how you could come across so poorly?

Date: August 6th, 2014 12:54 AM Author: up-to-no-good turdskin I got no-offered once. I think it was the right decision.
I also no-interviewed Skadden (cancelled interview), which was also the right decision. |
