I continue to hear rumblings from sources

I think you're a few pages behind. We're just waiting on a couple boomers to get their admins to help them find the send button on an email.

Rising 2l and had a second look in a major non-nyc market and the head of a practice group strongly hinted that nyc wouldn't be moving up this year so I'm skeptical. Possibly a marketing ploy though to get me to accept.

did you interview at k and I gates?

Well, I'm a rising 2L doing second looks in NYC, and, throughout this whole process I have continually heard things from people, but, whatever you say.

Did not have the pleasure of receiving an offer at K & L. This is, however, a firm that pays nyc market for all of its 'satellite' office. But if NYC moves and they do not follow after I accept the offer I will off myself.

whoosh

[thesealocust]

Does anybody have any credible evidence that NY won't be boosting salaries this fall?

I've never seen any.

So (theoretically speaking) if I'm tryna decide between Cahill NY and Sidley CHI, according to this thread, need to get my ass to NY ASAP?!?

Or is Chicago to 190 credited?

175k in Chicago will get you further than 190 in ny. I don't think Sisley will match 190 but we will have to see. Kirkland will though. They just threw 38k at summers like it was nothing.

Wait Kirkland Chicago threw 38K at summers? Explain pls.

They're anticipating NY TO 190

They're paying 3ls for part time work. Check earlier in this thread. Paying them 80 an hour for up to 20 hours of worI let week. To work remotely etc.

Yeah, if NY to 190k actually happens, Kirkland in Chicago would certainly match. I think Sidley, Mayer, Winston, Jenner, etc. probably would not do that, at least immediately.

Sidley wouldn't pay the same across all offices? Or would they not match in NYC?

In Chicago. I think all those firms have large NYC offices (besides Jenner) and would be forced to match there.

This is blood sport for the firms. NYC will raise it high enough that Midwest firms won't have the balance sheets to match, however high that needs to be. His man pulls a knife, your man pulls a gun. He sends your man to the hospital, you send his to the morgue.

REMINDER: first year associates are a scarce and valuable resource. If firms don't pay top dollar, there aren't enough graduates to fill the slots, meaning firms have to turn down business and partners lose money.

That's the Chicago way though, not the NYC way

Indeed. The alternative involves forcing the remaining associates to take on even more work. And if there's one thing firms won't stand for, it's overworked associates.

DC TO SOME UNDISCLOSED NUMBER

[Hutz_and_Goodman]

My prediction (and what makes sense) is nyc to $175k with bigger jumps between years. For instance, $175 for 1st years, 200 for 2nd years, 230 for 3rd years, 260 for 4th years, 285 for 5th years. Associates need a pay raise and firms want to incentivize people with experience to stay.

I really wish we had a way of separating the true believers from the ignorant masses.

I just don't understand why anyone would deny it. It would be like denying that the sky is blue.

when is the ny to 190 vigil happening?
