Who has received offers?
Finance Junior Offers

It's great for feeding us nosy bitches, but how is it useful info? I hope you have a good answer, as I need to justify my pathetic self.
I am demand side, so knowing what the competition is doing is useful. We won't waste an offer on, e.g., Zhu, and that saves us time and effort that we'd rather spend on someone else.

Ah, great, thanks. And now, I will continue to enjoy this thread. Poor Zhu, though. Guess talking about people does hurt. I'm at Berkeley and we were going to offer him a job too, but your advice that we shouldn't waste an offer on him is a good one. I'll make the same suggestion to my friends at Chicago, Harvard, Princeton, NYU, Yale, Duke,...

^ Huh? If you are Harvard or Princeton, you go up against MIT and compete for the guy, if you want him. If you are Berkeley and not slot constrained, you can do the same. However, if you are slot constrained, then go after someone you might actually get. If Zhu, for whatever reason, has a reason to prefer Berkeley to MIT then he or his advisers will let Berkeley know.
You seem to be new to his.

Demand side... must be at a very low school. As a reference, not making an offer because some other school made an offer is just stupid. At this moment the only milestones are having candidates exit the market because of accepted offers. Until they exit, everything is still game. Didn't they teach you that in econ 101?

Decreasing asymmetric information and making the market more efficient is a good thing. F398 has it exactly right, knowing who has offers is really useful and helps to clear the market. It's not like we are discussing anybody's weaknesses here.
