How rare is it for CP ABDs to have a hit in WP, CPS, or CP when hitting the market?
CP ABDs with Solo Hits in Top Subfield Journals
-
Of the 5 comparativists in my cohort and +/- a year, three had at least one of those journal hits, one of them had 2 of those publications. Those 3 students all got jobs. The other 2 were oddballs: Student A never cared about academia anyway and has a wife making loads of money, Student B failed her defense.

What year, if I may ask?
I'm not sure if subfield hits can get you a job nowadays.

lol, no
Common if they are coming out of the Top 20. Those ABDs have the training, funding, and professional connections necessary to routinely produce those articles while in grad school. Students will usually get that R&R by 5th year, it will be published by 6th year.

They hand out acceptances to these journals when you buy 8 or more gallons of gas at Shell.
WP. Lol, just lol!
WP is surely a dustbin. Everybody has at least 2 or 3 articles in it, although I wish I could take mine off of my CV now that I know better. They emailed me a preacceptance for my MPSA paper 2 years ago and I refused. Joke journal, and you are all above it.

This is the d.umbest trolling I think I have ever seen on PSR - and that’s saying something. WP has its problems, but ease of publishing is definitely not one of them.

It wasn't trolling. It was pointing to the ridiculousness of the comments being made. WP is clubby and sometimes publishes empirically weak work, but it is one of the top journals for a comparativist, and anybody would be thrilled to publish there. Most people will never land an article in a journal as prestigious as WP.
