I have been given an offer for the summer. I am SO excited. I had a final round of interviews yesterday. I met with four different partners in the firm, talking about my experiences and doing a case. It wasn’t as stress inducing as I’d thought it would be. People were very friendly and wanted me to succeed. I am now in the desirable position of getting exactly what I wanted for the summer and I couldn’t be happier.
The only down side is that I can’t share my elation with my friends, because many of them are still looking for jobs. The situation requires sensitivity and it is an interesting dynamic on campus. The people who’ve gotten offers are supposed to be experts and volunteer their expertise, even when not requested. I think the whole thing is ridiculous. Now I’m trying to support my classmates who haven’t got what they want yet.
Natasha,
I'm very happy for your and proud at the same time. I've followed your weblog throughout the year (quietly as I've been extremely busy)....but it's always good to get the real deal from your weblogs.
The horrible thing is that my wife and I moved less than 5 minutes away from the GSB and I've only been twice due to time constraints. I hope I can make these third round deadlines as I wish I could document my process.
Take care and I look forward to reading more good things (and interesting experiences) happening with your time at UC.
