CSM just dropped. Not sure if its improvement.

That's a pathetic raise, what a bunch of cheap fucks. At least it's reasonably likely they'll get topped, and have to suffer that small crumb of embarrassment.

[Bosque]

At this point in the afternoon, it seems like a pretty safe bet that we are waiting until next week for movement

Never wait a whole week for a movement. See a doctor first.

Maybe they are pricing in Milbank, K&E or DPW beating this, because I am pretty underwhelmed given the gangbusters year this has been.

So a raise of $5k – $15k depending on class year? What a joke

So where are the special bonuses? Didn't we get paid more last year?

Honestly think something like the below is a distinct possibility, slight increase to base with promise of some Spring/Summer special payouts.

* Class of 2021: Base: $20,000 (pro-rated); May 2022 Special Bonus: $10,000 (pro-rated); total: $30,000 (pro-rated)
* Class of 2020: Base: $20,000; May 2022 Special Bonus: $10,000; total: $30,000
* Class of 2019: Base: $30,000; May 2022 Special Bonus: $15,000; total: $45,000
* Class of 2018: Base: $60,000; May 2022 Special Bonus: $20,000; total: $80,000
* Class of 2017: Base: $75,000; May 2022 Special Bonus: $25,000; total: $100,000
* Class of 2016: Base: $90,000; May 2022 Special Bonus: $30,000; total: $120,000
* Class of 2015: Base: $100,000; May 2022 Special Bonus: $35,000; total: $135,000
* Class of 2014 and above: Base: $120,000; May 2022 Special Bonus: $40,000; total: $160,000

2017 = $75k
2016 = $90k
2015 = $105k
2014 = $115k

% increase by class year, without factoring in special bonuses:

2020 - 33%
2019 - 20%
2018 - 15%
2017 - 15.4%
2016 - 12.5%
2015 - 16.7%
2014 - 15%

So a $5k bump for juniors and then about a 15% bump across the board elsewhere. Again, not factoring in special bonuses.

Considering the year we have had... Underwhelming and disappointing.

Well, since you nailed this one - quick, how will DPW/Millbank/[some surprise contender] top this scale?

This is a joke and as a senior associate, and after how the last year has gone, enough of a slap in the face to start responding to the 3 or 4 daily recruiting emails for in-house roles.

This is fuckin' pathetic. I was not expecting to be this annoyed, but I am. There are 1st years collecting 50k signing bonuses at non-KE shops. Why would anyone stay for 1/10th of that?

[Anonymous User]

I was really hoping that the stub year bonus would move to $20K.

I HAVE CIRCULATED SO MANY DIAL-INS.

100%. Given (1) the 7% inflation rate this past year alone and (2) that my life was for all intents and purposes ruined this year, this is downright insulting.

[Anonymous User]

The increases for mid/seniors are actually appalling. If no one tops this the mass exodus of 2017-2015 is going to finish as literally each one of us packs up and leaves and there are none left.
