Have you guys looked into a coding boot camp?

In my experience, a lot of firms hore based on the July results cycle. She may get lucky in the fall when results come out.

I understand that you're trying to help, you should encourage her to make an account and jump on here herself to get advice/help with her search.

I'm aware that she already passed. But firms usually hire new associates in the fall because the bulk of law students take the July bar.
