Conservahero DC people just have a secret code to communicate with each other.

At my firm, a 6th year got fired by his local office despite doing 2/3rds of his work for a different office. And he had to tell the partner's he worked with that he was leaving.

If its anything like how those types of meetings go at my firm:

20 minutes of - RECORD PROFITS

5 minutes of -- BONEUS FLAT, won't anyone thing of pantherns children from a second marriage.

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.

just realized app isnt the op

^ which school did you go to? how much preftige factor in career say hys vs ccn? DPNCB. CCN don't add any real value compared to the rest of the t14. I'd take a full ride at a t14 over HYS. The slightly more risky OCI process at t14 v. HYS is way outweighed by the risk you fucking hate being a lawy...

I make 400k/yr as an IP lawyer and I'd trade places with you just to not go to law school. Don't do it man.

I always just parrot back whatever the person talking about politics says without really saying much definitively.

Half my firm thinks I'm lib and half conservahero.

I missed 2 on games, which is uncharacteristic of me.

had a nice lol at the idea of clients being able to discern the difference between associate a and associate b billing 8 and 16 hours of “review and markup merger agreement” on their respective deals This might be a difference between lit and Corp. but in lit we often have budgets that need to be s...

No shattering this year? What did they give.

what the fuck is schiff hardon?

My buddy works at a v10 and had this happen. Just say you fucked up the timing. It wasn’t intentional, but you learned a valuable lesson

No body really reads ur transcript. And I don’t even know what admin pass even means.

Unless your transcript explains it, consider lying about it.

boooooo

journal is a form of hazing. Because it has fuck all to do with legal practice.

hogan matching across several offices, denver isn't one of them wtf I don’t want this to devolve into a TLS style debate, and you know I love you guys, but a Denver associate getting paid the same as a SF or NYC associate?? i dont mind the bifurcation, generally. i mind it because theyre raising fo...

The Milbanks and the Paul Hastings of the world are trying to end up in the elite market, but probably won't make it. What are you talking about? Milbank is more of a Latham than a Paul Hastings. Do you know anything about Milbank. They don't do enough M&A stuff for me, but they have an incredi...

To those who say people ITT are being "impatient": Well, yeah, but I think we're also just nervous that we're seeing the start of real market stratification. In 2016 Cravath announced on June 6, and for the rest of June not a single weekday went by without at least one match. And now we'r...

You idiots are reading way too much into Latham taking 9 business days to match a raise. Everyone knows they will. There is a coming stratification of elitelaw and biglaw. But Latham will fall on the elitelaw side of things. The Milbanks and the Paul Hastings of the world are trying to end up in th...

yeah but they were below market for a long time before bumping up to 160 like right before the move to 180, if memory serves. this isn't a firm that has consistently been market paying for years and years And they didn't' pay market before Milbank scale either. Midlevels and Senior associates got b...
