First-year associate applying to the NY bar—is there a difference in how quickly each Department gets through your application? I have a choice between the First and Third Departments and I'm not sure if it makes a difference.

I’ve always heard that 2nd Dept is the slowest (as it covers multiple counties). 1st Dept (where I was admitted) was pretty quick as it only covers Manhattan and the Bronx. 3rd may be even faster but don’t know anyone who was admitted there.

Yes, each department has different timelines. I have heard first is the slowest, but don’t have personal experience. I applied through the second.

The third is interminably slow.

First off, congratulations!

Heard the first is the busiest and therefore slowest. I was admitted in the third. They're very responsive and fast.

2nd was slowwww during covid - one thing to consider is if you get admitted to 3rd you may have to go to albany for the admission ceremony if those are back to in person

Hey, I am appearing for a pre-sales engineer interview. It will be a sort of role-play demo session, where the team will want to understand how I present, how I manage a room, how I keep my audience engaged and also your technical abilities when asked regarding the solution. I have a liberty to choose any data science related product. I am essentially confused as to what product to choose, and how to structure the presentation. I would highly appreciate tips and suggestions. Thanks

It’s discouraging seeing your peers and people you graduated with move up to the next level while the feedback you keep getting in rejections is “we need someone more senior.” I really do doubt sometimes that I have any talent at all. Maybe I’ve just faked this whole thing.

It’s especially discouraging when you thought the interviews were really good and you were feeling great about the team and the people.

Wasn’t really sure where else to put this, sorry. Just needed to call into the void.
