NY GOES TO 180k! IT HAPPENED!!!! (CovingTTTon does a 180! Holder wept.) Forum

[jbagelboy]

Kind of a cheap campaign promise if you ask me. Raises by second semester are already in the bag.

In NY, yes; this promotional campaign seems directed at guaranteeing a Chicago market match.

I wonder what the kid's actual plans are. like, how ridiculous are they

We have a champion:

SBA 1L representative elections are about to start at my school. One of these darling 1Ls is campaigning on a platform that includes, among other things, raising first-year lawyer salaries above $160k. Between her chutzpah and her total lack of understanding of how SBA, I find this adorable.

Indeed. Said SBA 1L rep candidate should be found and assigned TLS supermod powers. She would clean up this thread fast. All heretics would be reeducated or banned.

she's running a negative campaign against the other dude... she would definitely wield the banhammer with authority.

Lol at negative campaigning over 1L Student Rep to the freaking SBA.

"X" (a very close friend of mine at my school) is going to Ropes next summer; has a family friend over there who is a partner. They were discussing biglaw life when "X" mentioned how amazing it will be to have $3k a week coming in next summer. Family friend said something to the effect of, "Yeah, and I think you guys might be seeing a little more than that by next year." "X" was taken aback, and asked for clarification. Family friend smiled and said, "I'm not saying anything."

Take that for what it's worth. He could be BSing, or the family friend could be BSing, or the firm could be BSing both of them. But that's what I heard.

As she should, assuming that her opponent is not likewise promising to work to raise first-year salaries above $160K. You're either with us, or against us.

Anon post? Check.
Close friend whose family friend is a partner? Check.
Raise innuendo from said partner? Check.
Coy avoidance when pressed for confirmation? Check.
Ropes trolling? Check. [This attribute has emerged only in the last couple of weeks, but I like it.]

In other words, this was a SOLID post. Carry on, soldier.

Yeah dude well done I liked that one

My good friend who will be at a NY V15 next summer just received the SA compensation letter. $3,460/week.

Terrible flame. The other V15s can't go to 180 when Paul, Weiss already pledged itself to 190.

Extremely subtle W&C trolling?

Seeing as how W&C is neither in NYC nor in the V15, it would be more than extremely subtle.

I think that would be a pay cut for W&C summers?

For once this actually seems like not flame.

Many firms did not match NY bonuses this year.

Select NY firms will thus be incentivized to raise salaries, because they will have the expectation that the market will not follow just like the market did not follow in terms of bonuses.

These select higher paying firms will then create real tiers among firms (i.e. not just bullshit prestige tiers) where the elite firms pay their associates more.

It's a real opportunity for market separation.

[Hutz_and_Goodman]

Someone needs to post a picture of the letter showing that compensation is going to $180k
All of these firms have huge SA classes and you can use anon

Do firms actually send out letters telling people their compensation this early? I haven't heard anything, and for whatever reason assumed we wouldn't find out until sometime early next year.

I feel like I'm on the more optimistic (naive?) side of the NYC to 190 movement. That said, I don't necessarily get where the incentive would come from to do this. What do the elite firms get from it?

...meh. Ok, fine, lets try it.

You need to do this you cowards. Just redact your name.
