Looks like in 2013 Skadden announced the next day and then others slowly joined in over the next few weeks.

#Stagnation2015 CONFIRMED

Oh wait, bonuses didn't go down like you predicted? I'm shocked you're wrong yet again.

And remember to drop out of law school, it's not too late buddy

I wasn't trolling, the V6 and Paul Weiss are literally the whole world of firms that can move the market. Feel free to disagree but if you do I think you're wrong.

In 2014, a simple search on ATL archives shows that PW matched a few hours later, followed by Cleary. The next business day, Milbank and Cravath matched. The next day, Skadden, Proskauer, Shearman, Debevoise, and Weil all matched before DPW beat the market.

Incoming SA and FWIW several associates at CBs/seconds flatly said PW would never move comp, but that they'll always match top of the market. (I didn't like ask about comp, it was something a lot of people brought it up as a selling point).

Can't disagree with this, included them as a courtesy

stagnation is no biggie to me but I hope someone nerfs cravath by like 5k on a couple class years just to punish those turds for sitting on news this long which could have easily been released 11/23

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 6:13 pm

For several reasons I think its only DPW and Simpson that would move the market. S&C will toe the party line, as will Skadden (too many offices/asscs to pay to be a first mover).

I think any of DPW, S&C, or Simpson could move the market. Skadden has tried to increase bonuses before and no one paid attention to them. I think they were embarrassed by that and haven't tried any one-ups since.

K&E pays mostly above-market bonuses, but they're somehow "individualized," i.e. members of the same class year get different bonus amounts. Because the amounts are different the "average bonus" is a secret (though associates confirm generally above market), and the rest of the market never really responds because not public = no need to respond.

It would be interesting to see what happened if K&E broke tradition and just publicly posted an above-market schedule, though.
