Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today we’re talking about OCI offers and how to handle them with ex-BigLaw recruiter, Sadie Jones. If you’re hoping to be a summer associate, tune in!
In this episode, we discuss:
- A full breakdown of the offer process and what you can expect
- Your responsibilities in the offer process – for example, how many offers you’re supposed to have open at any time – and where to find that information
- What to consider when deciding which offer to accept
- Some reminders if you’re accepting an offer in another location. Guess what? You need to figure out where you’re going to live – the firm won’t do that for you!
- How and when to decline an offer
Thanks for listening!
