    Do people know about any people that got back from Debevoise yet ? Also maybe any insights from last year at what time they got back to people with offers and if they sent them out in one bunch?

    For anyone who confirmed their Open Day attendance for Debevoise - have you guys got a “confirmation received” acknowledgment? I didn’t reply to the allhires mail but directly to the senior recruiter’s mail that was in the email.
