MN firms move slowly. Wait another week before freaking.Anonymous User wrote:It's been two weeks since my last CB, and three weeks since my other three- at what point do I start panicking/mass mailing?
Has anyone heard of firms besides Dorsey and Faegre raising 2018 Minneapolis salaries?Anonymous User wrote:Just saw this and had to confirm on NALP, but impressed it finally happened. I wonder which firms will match, particularly the locals. I'm assuming at least Robins, Gray Plant, Winthrop, and Frederickson will match, but it'll be interesting to see which other firms match as a result.Anonymous User wrote:FYI -- market in Minneapolis for entry level is no longer $120. It is at $140. (Dorsey and Faegre are there; others are likely to follow; as you said some like Jones Day are already above).Anonymous User wrote:I would've liked going back to MN if it worked out that way, but in my mind MN will always struggle with market pay at $120k vs. $180k in a bunch of other markets (excepting firms like Fish and Jones Day that pay above market). It's a reality of having different attorney fee structures and generally keeping their big corporate clients happy by charging a discount in comparison to some other big firms in the bigger markets.
Anyway, this is all just to say that MN is a great legal market and I wish the rest of you sincerely the best of luck in nailing down jobs there!
This has been a long time coming.
Mass mail immediately. Should have done that back in August.Anonymous User wrote:It's been two weeks since my last CB, and three weeks since my other three- at what point do I start panicking/mass mailing?
