2100 hour minimum? YikesAnonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 8:15 pmQE matched the Cravath scale bonuses for everyone hitting minimum hours (2100) with the usual above-market boost for people who hit specific high billing numbers (2400 hours, etc). Bonuses were paid in mid-December.
They've had this for forever. It shocks me that a firm can market itself as "laid back" while maintaining this nonsense.Moneytrees wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 11:19 am2100 hour minimum?

Since when does QE market itself as laid back? They literally market themselves as the most feared law firm.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 12:50 pmThey've had this for forever.

They definitely have in the past. I recall seeing a QE ad on Vault/Firsthand featuring a woman beach-side with her laptop and the quote "work anywhere you want" or something along those lines lol.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 2:41 pmSince when does QE market itself as laid back?

What about "laid back" requires work life balance? That was sort of my point - crazy that they think of themselves as laid back but lack all of the important stuff you would want to go with that culture (i.e., lower hours).Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 9:59 pmWorking from vacation doesn't exactly scream work life balance.Moneytrees wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 7:29 pmThey definitely have in the past.
