Need advice on a specific question!
Interviewed with Chicago court 2 weeks ago; they decide mid-August. Interviewed with DC judge last week; hear from him by this Friday. Chicago said if I need an answer before August, they'd try to make a decision about me sooner.
Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?

Yah. This is a tough call. I think I would wait until Friday. If you don’t get an offer from DC the problem resolved. If you do ask for the weekend to talk to your family about relocating and promise to call back by close of business Monday. Then call Chicago, say you have an offer with a short fuse, tell them you’d rather be in Chicago, and see what they do. How’s that sound?

But I also don't want to rush the Chicago court and end up getting rejected. If they know I have another possibility, would they see that as an easy way out to reject me?

I'm really ignorant of hiring practices and etiquette about this sort of thing.  The Chicago court is my preferred position. Help please, thank you!!

Just scrolling. Did you get any of the positions?

I went to a T14 law school, got great grades and glowing recommendations, and wrote (what I thought was) a great writing sample. But I got rejected from all 70 federal clerkships I applied to. The only thing I can think of is: I took a non traditional route after law school and did a 2 year public interest fellowship in a niche field of administrative law. The rejection gave me a lot of self hatred. I still really want to clerk. Any advice? What is wrong with me? I feel like a failure.
