Biglaw Salaries going up? Forum

[Anonymous User]

My firm has acknowledged the dropping law school enrollment numbers and believes that it will be harder to recruit and retain attorneys in about 3 years from now. Currently? Not a chance.

Not a partner but read someone on this forum asking for one. What would you like me to comment on?

Got a source confirming DLA Piper will be raising salaries to 190k* sometime in the next few days.

At the very least the salaries should increase annually w/ inflation...

EDIT: Monthly

IMO it's harder to break into prestigious i-banking mainly because a lot it will be based on what undergrad you get into and having a realistic shot at i-banking without top undergrad b-school is hard. The reason I say it's harder is because a lot of people are dipshits in HS, not realizing they are ruining chances of getting into top schools like Wharton etc. etc. where getting into top Ibanks is actually realistic.

T14 hasn't declined that much. Won't be an issue IMO. C/O 2008-2011 will always suffer from a gaping hole caused by the 09 repression.

Not to get ahead of ourselves, but when we (imminently) get to 190, what comes next? NY to 220?

Cautiously deafening

Have you ever listened to John Cage's 4'33"? I would guess that the chatter is approximately as loud as the brass section in that piece

Can you speak up, please?

What...the chatter in this thread isn't loud enough for you? What more do you want from us? Fucking law students.

My friend says that her boyfriends sister, who recently made partner at an INDUSTRY LEADER, says salaries are set to rise commensurate with the recent banking salary rise
