And so, interview week (and by "week" I mean three-day extravaganza) is over. These are the follow-ups to the on-campus interviews (OCIs) mentioned in the last post. In this round, you actually go to the law firms in Toronto and have interviews there.
Becky and I drove down to Toronto in our rented Chevy Impala, affectionately referred to as the "land boat". Joey practically had a luxury suite to himself in the back seat!
The process is wild. I probably met about 50 different lawyers within three days, ran around all over Bay Street, and got wined and dined (went to Canoe!) Very fun but also very exhausting - on Monday I was "on" between 8 am and 10 pm, then wrote thank you emails until 1 am...
I was incredibly fortunate to have four interviews. Three of the interviews went very well. One went very, very badly - basically it ended me being unceremoniously ejected after 30 minutes of a 90 minute interview. Ask me about it the next time you see me...
On "call-day", I accepted a summer job with a big, Bay Street law firm. Hoorah! It is likely that I will then article there and, if things go well, get hired on as an associate. The Firm is a fantastic place. I was so impressed with how genuine everyone was and how much this firm invests in their lawyers. It is a place that I think I could actually stay at and be happy for the long-term.
Looks like there is an off-ramp exiting the land of law debt! Marco certainly seems to think so... he has already requested a BMW. However, Joey needs to be fully outfitted in a burberry wardrobe before we can even think of that... ;-)
