Hi, I'm a third year. The only associate with a salary that's not an even thousand.

I'm sure they're right: $307,000 is simply not enough. But $308,000 is obviously too much. I'm glad they found the perfect middle ground for third years

Lateral that just went through first bonus season with the firm. Not in a major market but workload is comparable to major markets. Surprised at how low the bonus was. I received solid reviews and my annualized hours were well above the requirement. Should I approach anyone about this? Wondering if it is worth addressing or if it could compromise my standing. Thanks in advance!

Anyone else super unimpressed with administrative support with a new firm after lateraling? I told a partner I’d just take care of a routine task myself.

Big firm. You’d know the name.
