Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we’re discussing the ins and outs of the 3L job market with our guest Sadie Jones. We take a look at recruiting in BigLaw firms, as well as government and public interest organizations and in-house options at smaller firms.
In this episode we discuss:
- Who might be looking for a job as a 3L?
- How easy is it to get a job in BigLaw as a 3L, as compared to other organizations?
- The timeline for 3L hiring
- What if you’re in a situation where you summered and didn’t get an offer?
- Recruiting at firms outside of BigLaw
- Is it ever okay to accept one offer and switch to something else later?
