First Call-Back!

Firms certainly act quickly. I got my first call-back today, from a large top 10 firm that I interviewed with yesterday. I had two very good interviews with two different branches, one with a young perky middle-eastern associate, and another one with an older, more formal, white partner. Both were nice and friendly and seemed to like me. I liked them a lot too, and was hoping that they would call me back. Yay!

Thus far, I have had interviews with six firms in total, and this is the only one that has called me back. I wonder whether other people's ratios are better. One of the advantages of having 28 interviews, of course, is that it's really hard to care about any one of them. Quite a few of my interviewers also seem to have deficient (to say the least) personalities. One of the interviews today never smiled once. He was distant and cold and utterly uninterested, which makes the line "our firm is not as stiff and starchy as the other firms" (delivered in a monotone) really not that believable.

But, the first call-back! Hopefually there are a lot more coming...
