So, am I just a pessimist?

So I emailed conservative firm my ranking and honors info yesterday, but I got a weird auto-responder, so I followed up with a phone call this morning. I relayed the information over the phone, but couldn't really gauge Partner's reaction.

But, this afternoon Partner called and wants to set up another meeting for Monday morning. I'll be meeting with 3 junior partners, and then I will meet with the two named partners with whom I have already met.

This has to be a good sign, right? Maybe I am just developing a seriously doom-and-gloom attitude, but I am very wary about getting my hopes up.

I think that's an excellent sign. I mean, surely they wouldn't waste so much of their time if they weren't genuinely interested in you?

Good luck on Monday!

Yeah... get your hopes up. You don't get invited back to a third interview unless they like you. The job is now yours to lose. Just make sure you have your facts straight, don't equivocate, and sell the positives. No one cares about the difference between top 30% and top 40%... but they do care about whether you are straight about it.

BTW, as a former hiring manager, I have to say there is a strong probability that when you meet the senior partners again, they will be discussing the terms of an offer. Thus, make sure you are prepared for that.

Thanks!
DH said the same thing, Anon. I really hope you are both right, because I don't want to sting this thing out any longer.
