Is it normal to have SAs making more than 1st years (per week)? The firm recently increased the SA salary, but has made no indication of further increasing associate salaries (they went up last year, yet SA salaries have outpaced this change). I guess the underlying question is "how likely is this to push up starting salaries next year?"
(Sorry about the anon--I've posted a lot about the market and this would definitely out me because they're the only firm I know of with this situation.)

190(K). Brilliantly and subtly executed.

Haha while I do appreciate your praise, this is a serious question--secondary market with lower starting salaries.Capitol_Idea wrote:190(K). Brilliantly and subtly executed.

Bump. This is a real question--SA x 52 = ~$5k more than the posted starting salary.

This seems so idiosyncratic to your market/firm that I doubt anyone here can look into their crystal ball and figure it out. Is it going to change whether you go there full time either or you just want an answer right away?

Re: Biglaw SA Salary > 1st Year Salary
I thought the same thing when I saw my SA salary last summer, but it's just because they don't do payroll at SA weekly x 52. It's the bi-weekly paycheck x 24.
For example, we got paid 10 weeks at $3,333/week. But bi-monthly, $6,666 roughly equals $160k.

Not at all. I was just curious if it was at all indicative of changes in the market.onionz wrote:This seems so idiosyncratic to your market/firm that I doubt anyone here can look into their crystal ball and figure it out.
