Yeah if Chi/LA/DC can match, then NYC will be worse off. NYC firms have to raise salaries by more than other cities can afford to.

NYC to 190

Are they going to no offer extra people to get to 180K?

I feel like that's a bad idea. Seems like stealth layoffs of upper class-men would be a better idea.
God 180k in a non-NYC market sounds amazing and idk why people would want to be in NYC.

Would make Milwaukee the go to. 160K in Wisconsin would have you living like royalty.

First purchase would DEFINITELY be Badgers football season tickets.

no offering a couple SAs here and there wouldn't raise any huge red flags, just cold offer them

exactly, esp for the non-100% firms

also if you no offer one or 2 SAs people will victim blame instead of firm blame

seems much easier than firing people who know things

Idk what does Nalp say?

But yea, as far as I know unless coke and hookers are involved

Even then, you have to cross the line with the coke and hookers.

Brad Karp sent out an email to all PW summers announcing that our salaries would be raised to $3.5K a week on July 1 as well.

Partner-level move.

Do you actually think firms would cut profitable,hard to come by and experienced mid levels/seniors to avoid cold offering a few SAs?

Have we ruled out the ReedSmith-ing, of firing droves of second tier partners?

Old news bro. Cleary SAs just got their salary raised this morning.

Had two assignments due last Friday, and on Thursday evening I got an email that said something like "If you're free I might have some things you can help me out with. " for an older associate.

Basically wrote back saying I'm finishing up a bunch of stuff tomorrow but I'd be happy to help next week. Never heard back. Did I handle this situation right? It's been nagging me.

[mushybrain]

Yes. You can follow up with that associate now if you want.

[lavarman84]

The work I did was actually used today. Was kind of cool seeing that at least some of what I do actually is used by the firm.

[EzraFitz]

Yeah, nearly identical thing happened here, reached out the next week, and got a "thank so much, really appreciate you getting back to me, have nothing now, but will let you know if something comes up" kind of response.

I would have said something like

"I would be happy to help? When do you need this done? I have two deadlines tomorrow, so a 24-hour turnaround will be difficult, but I'm more than happy to work on it over the weekend."
