Despite disproportionate decrease in associates, deal flow on pace to be 75% of 2007

******

Real pay down 30% from 2007

This is why corp bros should start slacking off. The more bodies they need the better comp will be because they gotta entice people to stay.

Other option is where we all agree to keep working but not record our billable time for [month][2 weeks]. That way, the work still gets done, but the ones feeling the pain/worry are the partners. I suppose they could just estimate our time and send to client, though. Might be better way to send a message than not working at all. Stopping at 1700 sounds nice; would have been great to take off the months of August through December.

Which is why you'd need all biglaw associates to do it at the same time.

I keep checking this thread to see if NYC has gone to 190.

Can someone just PM me when it happens so I can stop checking thread?

You are very stupid to think that the thread title at all implies that NYC to 190. It's. Conditional statement; the context of which indicates that a a necessary condition hadn't occurred.

Any idea which one will make the first move? The only market leaders in recent years have been Cravath, SullCrom, and STB (and Skadden if you count a move that other firms didn't follow).

I predict that another market will drop to 145k or lower before NYC goes to 175k.

If law students in a 1L section consisting of 70-80 people couldn't game the curve by collectively slacking off, then what makes you think they'll be able to pull off something like this industry-wide?

I don't see why anyone even does nyc at 160 when stl, Atl, Nash , Texas at even just 100 is a better way of life.

Two pages in without the words "supply" or "demand" ever entering the conversation...

This is why I think law school is stupid/worthless unless you a) know something about finance/economics already or b) aren't planning on doing anything related to business or the regulation thereof.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
