Cooley rejected my 2L app after previously offering me a 1L position + scholarship that I ultimately turned down. Is it possible that the recruiter and/or hc assumed I would turn them down again? I was very excited for the opportunity and had spent significant time networking to make up for my prior decision. Bummer overall.

Fair but unfortunate lol

Attorneys will move on and forget you existed the second you decline their job offer.

But HR remembers forever.

Not Cooley but I’d have turned you down too; we want people who want to be here and you’ve already demonstrated you don’t.

Every company has layoffs. It sucked, but the firm is top notch and from what I hear a great place to practice, in most offices.

Sounds like wherever you went for your 1L summer didn’t pan out.

Nonetheless appreciate the insight — recruiting seems like such a black box

Hello I just started my first job (I’m 22) and I need to set up a 401k for matching with my company. I’m really confused how this works because I want to try to hit the IRS maximum of $19,500 for Roth contributions this year. Maybe it’s too late in the year now, but it’s asking me to pick my desired contribution % per pay period, but I’m not sure how much to do because it says it’ll kick in 1-2 pay cycles and I don’t even know when the next pay check comes yet. Any tips would be great

I know that some other associates at my level are approximately 30% behind other associates in hours on a month to month basis. Yet all of these associates say they are “at capacity”, and myself and another associate still end up being assigned work instead of them. How do we handle this? For reference, all associates are around the firms minimum requirement, it’s just that a few of us are 30+% over and it is leading to burnout.
