I’m in school now and was wondering if anyone can provide color on how firms will handle hiring summer associates (OCI) and how they will look at transcripts with half of schools moving to P/F grades.

If you’re a 2L who was hired for summer 2020 you should be hearing from your firm. My firm (V25) just sent a nonspecific message to our summers wishing them good health and telling them that we will be back to them as the scope and duration of WFH/pandemic/economic fallout becomes clearer. I know we are looking at a variety of options, including summer associate WFH and delaying the start date from late May to June, or later.

If you’re asking about fall 2020 hiring for summer 2021, it’s way, way to early to tell. We might still be locked down then, we might be back to normal, and we might be in the midst of a cataclysm.

Re p/f grades there’s no precedent but I suspect most firms will more or less write this spring off re grades and rely on other semesters’ grades and other data.

I’d suggest doing your best to control what you can control by working hard, follow g public health guidance, taking care of yourself and your loved ones, and trying not to be too reactive to the day’s news. It’s hard for everyone but we’ll get through it.

I heard that internal candidates have much lower salary ranges for promotions / transferring teams. So much so that some people will leave the company a year just to come back to a more competitive offer.

I am in the running for a 2 band level promotion - if / when it gets to salary discussions, should I still try to negotiate? What are peoples thoughts? I would be going from an entry level role for 1 year to a senior role, but I still want a fair compensation compared to other hires.
