 So do we think salaries will increase next summer or do we have to wait and hope that the bonuses increase next year?
We need summer bonuses again, at the very least.

 Any DPW nerds want to chime in on how that bonus meeting went?
There were actually no questions asked about this. From the general vibe of the meeting, I’m guessing people felt it wasn’t the time or place.

A few questions about working from home, flex time, health care costs, but none about comp or bonuses.

my firms scale never changes but a few years ago they cut the "regular" bonus in half and added a "discretionary" bonus to get up to matching so it feels like a special treat

20 minutes of - RECORD PROFITS

NY to $210k.
Davis Polk is having an associate town hall next week at which I assume this will be announced. What else is there to discuss?
Yep, I can't wait to hear the NY to $210k announcement. But maybe another firm will beat them to it!

Well it's retention within the biglaw cartel

Re: 2019 Bonus Discussion

It’s kind of silly though because it’s the same across all of big law. It’s retention at the industry level but not really at the individual firm level

The comp takes a big jump for 3rd year bonus/4th year base salary because that's when you are in the best sort of position to jump.

midlevels and juniors get a bit screwed because senior associates gotta get a bigger bonus but our all in cop is over 400k, which is a lot considered half of them are barely hanging on / checking out.

 You've forgotten the NY to 180 190 200 spirit already. Stay optimistic and keep bringing it up until it happens. Save the downturn talk for elsewhere.
At this point I just settle for free bubbly water.

Hoping for raises before the downturn is just asking for a duller blade before the lathaming

Ny remains; everyone else to 160k please and thank you

 No one is raising this year. Everyone will be batten down the hatches and waiting to see if there's a downturn next year based on partner convos and hiring trends around here.
This is my sense as well
