Major salary compression for mid and seniors. Most after year 4 are only at old NY levels. Only 1st and 2nd years on full cravath... Good bait though.
I wonder how much of this is going on for some of the late-comers. I also can't wait to see what happens come bonus time: "The partners at Sweatshop & McMiserable appreciate all of your hard work. As the attached bonus memo reflects, we recognize the contributions that some of you have made. Unfortunately, due to the mid-year salary increase (remember that!?!?), we could not be as generous with bonuses this year. Indeed, for the first time, we have introduced "negative bonuses" for those of you who did not meet hours or performance targets. These bonuses will be deducted from your December pay checks. Happy Holidays!"

Surprised there isn't more evening action. Enough firms have raised, shouldn't be a question for most firms established as "top".

Sheppard Mullin TTTrolling hard this evening. COO just sent out updated reimbursement policy accompanied by:

"It has been a while since we focused on being as prudent as possible when we are spending Firm funds – whether for client development, trips, events, sponsorships, training, etc. Spending our money wisely has always been a part of the success of SMRH."

Very accurate considering I legitimately hired a dog walker after my firm matched last week.

Take this as a good sign -- they are trying to tighten the purse strings before they announce raises.

Also heard through the grapevine it'll happen tomorrow. I'm stoked, though it was only a matter of time after Ropes matched. I do wish we had beaten Covington to the punch, but at least it was nice reading this thread in the past few days.

Getting a raise collectively is not as much fun. I think there is some science to back this up.

A&O associate here - 7th in global revenue, PPP at something like $1.6m (depending on exchange rate), profits and revenues both up over 25% since 2008, and we can't even get any sort of acknowledgment that there's something going on. Our two most direct peers (Clifford Chance and Freshfields) matched middle of last week. I welcome the shaming as well.
What about Linklaters? What's going on with them?

DLA secondary market first years getting DROVES of calls from F500 BOARDS to join the low-work high-pay GRAVY TRAIN. Prefftigious A&P first years borrowing BOARD GAMES like SCRABBLE to play on the COFFEE TABLE by the COUCH they're crashing on in Arlington. The word NORAISE on a triple word score is 180 points.
