Are the Cravath and DPW associates all just too afraid to just ask your partners if they’re planning to accept that Milbank is more prestigious than they are?

Cravath and DPW (-and KE and STB and P,W and the other big wigs) are sticking their middle finger back at Milbank, telling them that their firm still isn’t as cool as them and they can retain their associates and not pay them the bonus.

That said, I think firms will still pay summer bonuses, but that’s because the work is really heating up again (at least in corporate).
