Podcast Episode 108: Handling Summer Associate Offers (with an ex-BigLaw Recruiter)

August 1, 2017 By Law School Toolbox Team Leave a Comment

Law School Toolbox podcast

Welcome to the Law School Toolbox podcast. Today, we’re talking with ex-BigLaw recruiter, Sadie Jones, about the process of getting, or not getting, an offer at the end of your time as a summer associate. Tune in for some great information on how to end your summer successfully and navigate the offer process thoughtfully and respectfully.

In this episode we discuss:

  • The basics of the offer process and what it means for the future
  • The possible outcomes and how to deal with them
  • How to maximize your chances of getting an offer as the summer wraps up
  • Things to do to make sure you end the summer on a positive note
  • Sure-fire ways to put your offer in jeopardy
  • What you can do if you sense a potential issue (a personality conflict, a not-so-great performance on an assignment, etc.)
  • Cold offers: what does this mean and how can you move forward?
  • Managing offers while applying for clerkships
  • What are the repercussions of turning down an offer if you weren’t happy at the firm?
  • Once you’ve accepted an offer, do 3L grades matter?
