I dunno about you guys, but my poop smells like shit.

I don't want to say too much but it's ranked between 5 and 7 on Vault and its Powerpoint presentation format was a major subject of discussion ITT.

Hell, I'll think of of PW as V2 nationally....when it raises first-year salaries to $190K.

I'm just going to keep pointing this out until we get a raise or until people are pissed off enough to do something:
  • We haven't had a raise in almost a decade
  • Total compensation is actually lower (in non-inflation adjusted terms) across most class years, and it's worth noting that 1st years in 2007 received a bonus of $45K
  • PPP has risen steadily since 2007, as much as 75% at some firms
  • 2015 was the most active M&A market EVER, topping $2 trillion for the first time
  • Average rental price in New York has risen dramatically since 2007
  • Average tuition costs have increased by a factor of about 1/3, but it's more at many schools

  1. Stop going to law school at the outset.
  2. Take jobs in markets other than NYC.
  3. Take alternative jobs. In-house salaries have continued to rise despite the lack of increases in firm salaries and many corporations have started in-house training programs in recent years that weren't available in the past.

The only relevant metric is PPP.

The lateral market is not that hot, so they feel no pressure to raise. And they won't.
