This program has become increasingly attractive to large firms with Paris offices or those with a significant international practice. In a strong economy, students indicated that being a participant in the program assisted them in the interview process and in gaining offers for summer employment. However, during times of economic slowdown, students have experienced difficulty getting a summer associate position between their 2nd and 3rd years, with many firms asking students to re-apply for a summer position between their 3rd and 4th years. The majority of French and US participants have accepted permanent offers for employment in New York, many planning to return to France after 1-3 years in the US.
