When will offers start rolling in? Early or late next week? The week after that?
When do offers begin for econ JM?
-
Many places sent their first offers last week
This, especially for MRMs.
Basically what happens is that MRMs put out offers to their first choices. There's a limbo until HRMs make offers - and then all hell breaks loose.This is correct
The year before last was especially bad. There was a candidate sitting on offers ffrom both MIT and Berkeley, and it took him until the last day to reject the one from MIT. MIT had to hire juniors, so it made offers to their next choices. This ended up tricking down hard. It was a mess

Plus MIT’s hiring interests were unusually concentrated field-wise last year

Yes, NBI'm of course not blaming the guy. Making this kind of choice is hard enough without considering the market effects. IMO this is much more of a market design flaw. We don't see this happening as much at the grad school admission level when every school has a hard date.

Lol Mit did not make offers to their next choices that year. They made two offers simultaneously, one was accepted the other rejected.
