There’s no standard sub-Cravath scale. You’ll have to name the firm or ask someone who works there.

Some of those firms pay seniors low 200s

Anecdotal, but I’ve heard of $278k, firm that starts cravath scale but doesn’t keep it up after junior levels. But agreed you need to name the specific firm, ask your recruiter and ask on this app.

I’ve heard $290k

My firm is 300-330k (7th to 9th).

$190-$205k, with about $25k bonus for 1900 hours. We went to Cravath for first years recently and associates are being promised big raises this year to make up for the difference.

Where you rank on Amlaw doesn't matter considering Amlaw rank is largely gross revenue. As an example, Fenwick pays full market deapite being under Amlaw 70 and JD pays below despite being Amlaw 10. What matters more for pay is RPL and PPP. It is easier to justify associate pays of 500k if the attorneys bring in 1.5m and partners are making 3m then it is if attorneys are only bringing in 600k with partners making 800k.

Is it okay that I’ve been a slow junior as we’re hours away from closing? I’m trying to be proactive and available to cross things off the list but I’m SLOW: takes me long enough that they do it themselves (even though this wasn’t an issue earlier in the deal) and even on quick tasks or emails, they respond to it before I can click send. There’s also so much about closing that I don’t understand and I feel like I’m bothering the higher-ups on the team whenever I ask. *end anxiety post*

Had someone lateral into our firm as a fifth year (soon to be sixth). They were kind of a retool and went from small law to the firm I’m at. They are still learning a lot of basic stuff, and I think it’s weird that the firm hired someone at that level as a retool. They sometimes ask me for help with stuff, but I’m just getting annoyed at this point. Can I just say “no” since they’re about to be a mid/senior associate who should know all of this?

One thing that irks me about my firm is that it does not give lateral associates like myself credit for federal clerkships for purposes of advancement/seniority. Associates who are hired directly out of law school or while completing a federal clerkship do receive credit for their clerkships, however.

Is this normal?
