Relative who is partner at a firm on the west coast that pays market told me today that salaries are going up. They wouldn't say more at this time.

Market is moving. Keep seeing recruiters looking for big law associates with 1-3 years experience. Enrollments in law school still down. Top firms are moving to $190k as a protective measure to avoid firms outbidding each other and first year comp goes to $210k.

Considering that's the same Mayer Brown we last heard about via the expose on law firms headed straight to the gutter I think it's safe to say 190k is only the beginning.

1st year Paul Weiss associates have been informed by HR that their salaries will be 170 in January.

Sadly anti-climactic.

^ Is that saying that first years will go from 160 to 170? Or that the scale is the same?

I thought first years were going to 190?

[03152016]

guess they're doing it in 10k increments

no matter, i can deal with 190k for my first full year and 180k for my stub

Pretty sure the troll here is that they are going 170 when they become second years in January... He didn't say incoming first years.

Sorry, I meant incoming first years. The people that just started.

Makes sense. It was always going to take a salary war to get to 190. Paul Weiss with the first volley. Predictions for firm 2?

[Anonymous User]

Probably DPW or STB, if history is any guide.

[orangecup]

Prediction: Pillsbury Winthrop drops the 175k hammer.

Someone has to take it to 171.

When are we taking Kinney recruiting to task for their confident prediction of salary increases in early 2015?
