Wachtell bonuses

Post by Anonymous User » Sat Oct 22, 2016 7:18 pm

What % of base are Wachtell bonuses at nowadays? Heard it's closer to 60% for juniors. Also, has Wachtell raised its base to match/exceed the Cravath scale?

Based on SA salaries, they've exceeded Cravath scale. But haven't announced. Their attitude is that it ain't nobody's business but their own.

If you have to ask, you're not qualified to work there.

Interested. Please post only if you work at WLRK or heard first-hand from a WLRK lawyer in the recent year or two.

it's 100% and their base exceeds Cravath scale. as one poster noted above, they just have not announced it publicly.

Realize this was a dead thread (apologies for reviving) and while this year is not out, I'm 100% positive it's been 100% every year for at least the last four years, at all levels.
