Currently applying to federal clerkships. Is there an average amount of time before you hear back (if selected)? Also, is it proper to call to confirm receipt of submitted apps outside of OSCAR?

Don’t call. You have no idea how deluged judges are with applications and you will annoy their (small) staff. If I recall correctly, one chambers in SDNY (Briccetti?) sends regrets, but that’s unusual. You will likely hear back fairly quickly (if at all) outside of the Oscar process because judges worry that they’ll lose out on good candidates if they delay.

Good luck. As someone who struck out through Oscar and got just one interview without Oscar (but all you need is one good one!) I know it’s a stressful process. But there’s just not a ton you can do once you’ve sent out applications.

Lots of luck? I had good (not incredible) grades, I was from one of the 3 law schools that my judge looks at applications from, and I had pre-law-school background that made me look like a good fit for a major case that was still expected to be on the docket a year from then.

Hey fishes, completed 3 tech rounds at Bosch.

On 22nd Nov, got a call from the consultant at taggd who has been arranging all my interviews. Told my expected CTC and she seemed a bit surprised but didn't negotiate and asked if I have any other offers? I asked when can I expected the OL, she said within a week but didn't take any documents. Can I expect the OL?

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that?

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at

I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
