On My Way to San Fransisco

Before the sun comes up, I will be on a plane to San Fransisco. After arriving at the airport, I will rush to the Palo Alto office of the largest law firm in the world for about five hours of interviews. On Friday, I have eleven interviews in a row at the best tax firm in the country not located in NYC or DC.

The interview process is quickly coming to an end.

I am continuing to get invitations from law firms to fly out to visit them. There are three SF firms that I will never have a chance to visit. Today, a major Dallas firm invited me down, as did three excellent New York firms (UPDATE: just now, at 10:30 at night, another DC firm invited me to a second round of interviews).

I am extremely thankful for the opportunities. Honestly, I really don't understand why I am getting all this attention. That's not false modesty - I really don't understand it. The economy is impacting the job market extremely badly, and most of my classmates (including the very smart ones) are finding it difficult to get calls from firms right now.

Whatever the reason, I am extremely thankful that my problem is being too busy right now. I really wish that at this point in the game I could refer some of these firms to my friends.

In just a few days, it will all be over, and Wife and I will begin to prepare for a whole new journey. I anticipate that on Saturday, this blog will take on a new theme.
