Does anyone have experience being a JD/MBA student, and being hired on as a 2nd year after graduation for salary purposes? Or is that just a rumor?

Confirmed, this is what I did. Varies firm to firm. Some let you choose between a class year bump or a bonus of about $25k. Others only offer the bonus. A quick cash flow analysis shows the class bump has a much higher NPV. However, IMO it’s best to accompany this with a personal commitment to climb the learning curve quickly so that you are performing at your class level as soon as possible.

A firm approached me with an offer because I had worked with some partners who recently joined. They said it’s not really a “practice” of the firm to guarantee the bonus and that they want to properly incentivize people to hit hours… but I now have data from current associates and ones who had offers (including recently this past month) who received guarantees — nothing exceptional about their circumstances either.

How do I respectfully present that data in a counteroffer?

Hope you all are having a great weekend. Just wanted to share a tip for all of those who are looking to connect with former employees - there is a filter function at Linkedin which allows you to do so (and you can combine that with the filter on location - then you can almost always find at least 2-3 people you can reach out to and ask about the firm and practice group you are thinking of lateralling).

Feel free to share any other tip with the fellow fishes!
