I've had the CB, and gotten the offer (for SA next year).
Most firms in this market give a bump to 160 for IP, this firm doesn't list anything about that on its NALP page, appropriate to ask?

Re: Asking about salary?
Of course. Anyone would want to know what they're working for. However, when the acknowledgment of my offer acceptance came in the mail it listed the likely weekly pay with the caveat that it could change because it'll be finalized in the spring.

Re: Asking about salary?
Ummm, yeah. Come on mannn. You took contracts. You got the offer, now let's see the terms before we agree on the bargain. Still would be good to be tactile about it. Maybe ask if you could get a memorandum of the offer with the the basics such as: pay, employment agreement, etc.
The market isn't so bad that they can just give you a "take it or leave it."

Re: Asking about salary?
It is odd that they did not mention salary. You might also want to check on the number of SA weeks. Not every firm is in lockstep with 10 weeks ― my firm went 12 weeks (the extra $6K came in handy) and some are notably longer.

There is no contract for the candidate to accept. It's at-will employment.UnderrateOverachieve wrote:Ummm, yeah. Come on mannn. You took contracts.

Re: Asking about salary?
Before accepting any job offer in life, you have to know the salary. I don't understand why this idea is complicated.
Yes, obviously don't ask before you have an offer. But you have an offer, and are contemplating accepting it.

No, not the summer salary. The post-grad first year assoc salary.Fresh Prince wrote:Before accepting any job offer in life, you have to know the salary. I don't understand why this idea is complicated.

My 1L year I made $2600/wk (~$135kyr) however they start their IP people at $160k (so summer salary isn't really a predictor)
