Wtf happened to this thread. Quit comparing your shitty city with some other shitty city and let's get back to mocking CovingTTTon and it's cowardly cohorts (WH, Hogan, et. al.), and how they're trying to turn make sure DC into remains a poverty-stricken third world hell hole.

ppl in NY take cabs and uber all the time. if its 3:30am and you're trying to get back from LES there's no way you're gonna wait 20 min on the platform for a B/D train. and ppl are always late for shit or lazy and call ubers. now that lyft is big in the city its even easier.

but transportation and food aren't where the biggest gaps lie. it's definitely going out and rent. you probably spend $1000 more on rent and at least $500 more on going out in NY per month than in a market that's not DC or SF.

Actually, if you live in Crystal City, you can pay rents competitive with parts of Atlanta.

Pentagon city and Crystal City are actually really nice and very underraded and frequently shitted on by Clarendon bros
Main thing is that there's no real bar scene and I think it's more family centric than the orange line members of Arlington

Too true, Mr. Hester anonymous internet poster. No real hardship there.

I don't understand why everyone is using "NYC" and "Manhattan" interchangeably. Does nobody here live in BK (i.e. cheaper neighborhoods with double-wide closet sized apartments)? If you stuck in Midtown I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but my rent ain't one (jk I still pay a buttload)

Baker Botts to 180, all U.S. offices.

Level 1: 180k
Level 2: 200k
Level 3: 260k
Level 4: 305k

Are the levels some kind of black box system to screw people?

My understanding is the levels equate to years.

Level 1 = 1st year = $180k
Level 2 = 2nd & 3rd years = $200k
Level 3 = 4th, 5th, & 6th years = $260k
Level 4 = 7th+ years = $305k.

I've only anecdotally heard of someone being moved up a year early for excellent performance. I'm assuming it's also possible to be held back a year for poor performance, too. If you're hitting yours hours, though, it seems like you can expect to progress as I've noted above.

I think the most common reason for not being promoted on schedule is switching practice groups, but I guess it's also possible to be held back for poor performance (maybe if they want to try to push someone out?). I also don't think it's that uncommon for people to be bumped up early, especially from Level 3 to Level 4 as a 6th year. That seems to happen whenever a group is lacking in senior associates, and it works out well for the firm since they get to bill that associate out at a higher level.

Levels seem great for 2nd/4th/7th years and potentially not so great for 3rd/6th years. But that's just base, and I've heard bonuses for 3rd/6th years make up for it to an extent while associates at the lower end of level bands sometimes get lower bonuses, so I wouldn't be surprised if it all ends up being a wash in the aggregate.

Baker Botts Houston associate here.

I've know some in group who have been promoted to Level 4 one year early. It happens.

Also, several Level 4s in Houston office have reported $125K bonuses (stated max is normally $100k). So bonuses can be huge if you bill big.

Overall, we're super happy with this and a lot of associates will blow through the Cravath scale.

If the vast majority of your drinking is alone and at home on the couch does that change the going out calculus at all or nah?

Holy shit, really? $45? Damn, son. In LA it's $22-25. That's like Australia prices.

Ya. Its $20.99 at TJs but TJs cant sell hard liquor in NY. So the independent liquor stores have a total monopoly on bourbon and its a nightmare

[Anonymous User]

Can't somebody theoretically take the path to NJ and buy their hard liquor there? It's like a 20 minute trip from parts of Manhattan. (I know you're supposed to report the sale and pay taxes on it, blah blah, but I know of New Yorkers who buy in Jersey).

[LaLiLuLeLo]

I'll never understand the East's liquor laws. But NY to $190k just so you poor bastards can afford to drink something that isn't store brand (unlike CovingTTTon associates)

Lower Manhattan office location baby. At least I didn't suggest you live in Jersey.

Texas roundup: to my knowledge, no word yet from Andrews Kurth, Akin Gump, Haynes and Boone, Locke Lord, NRF, Bracewell, and the more "regional" firms like Gardere, Thompson & Knight, Winstead etc. As an associate at one of the bigger firms on this list, I'm still hopeful that good news will come next week.
