Did not get an offer from Morgan Lewis last week. I went to a seminar today where the partner I interviews was speaking (he is the main partner of the group and he has like a 5 person team). I just wanted to show up to the seminar to be like yo I’m here dude. He said that he ultimately doesn’t make the decisions. I told him I accepted an offer elsewhere (which I did). Not sure how I feel about the situation haha
