Bain & Company Hello, I received an offer as a Senior Practice Manager at Bain. The profit sharing range is 0-12% in the offer letter. Is it typical to receive the midpoint (6%)? Also, what do the annual salary increases typically look like? Any insights are much appreciated. Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group McKinsey & Company

Literally the dumbest post of the year.
I totally support the strike, and I'm surprised by the lack of response. The idea of the strike is to force people with power to think about the direction the country is headed and make a change. If their deals cannot get done or if stuff is disrupting business, then they'll make some phone calls. Such change is overdue by 10 years, but better late than never. Also, are there any attys in Minneapolis that have feelings about this? Something tells me they would be receptive to this.

That's what we have elections for, buddy, and as Barack once said, "Elections have consequences."

Bruh, you work in an air conditioned high rise office building in one of the wealthiest cities in the world, making at least $350k minimum. Wtf is wrong with you people?
Coach
Starting is like 250k
I'm assuming you staged a strike when Obama was deporting 4x the amount of people, including children.

I am not even remotely “far left.” I’m a corporate lawyer for crissakes. Pretend that only the far left is outraged right now all you want. It’s obviously not true.
LMAO. Imagine getting this pressed over the government enforcing basic immigration law.
Coach
I’m not playing hero at all, A18. I’m sitting in my office upholding the status quo. You don’t know me and have no basis for calling me a “narcissist” for comparing the masked thugs marauding on the streets to their historical predecessors. Get bent.
What are you striking for/against? Is this a strike to improve associate working conditions at big firms? I’ve got some good ideas:
1. Firms should stop emailing associates after 10pm;
2. Partners should be respectful to associates and actually train them;
3. Firms should limit associates from working no more than 50-60 hours a week? Need more work? Then hire more associates.
There’s a national economic blackout being organized in support of defunding ICE. Folks are using the time to participate in local protests, call congresspeople etc. If standing up at work feels scary (I know it does to me), you can also start small by participating in buy-nothing tomorrow.
Imagine telling a client this lmao. No fan of ICE but I will be working as little as possible as always on Fridays and then going to the bar, where the bartenders also won’t be striking
Unfortunately you won’t find much support for a general strike in the Big Law bowl, but agreed that a general strike is much needed when the administration is blatantly lying to its citizens and ignoring the process of law. It would be helpful for our industry to take a stand, but realistically - by the very nature of our work - you’ll find very little sentiment to organize at biglaw firms at least.
Coach
Jrs have been on strike every Friday and weekends for the past couple years and no one has noticed
shhhhhhhhhhh!
Coach
I'm trying to imagine telling my clients I am striking on Friday lol "will turn these docs Monday as I am on strike Friday"
Setting aside how hilariously “champagne socialist” this is - serious question: if you want change, why are you protesting the ppl enforcing the laws and not demanding your legislators change the laws?
Even more serious question: why is AOC and other “liberals” not lifting a finger to try to change the immigration laws?
There is an answer, but you won’t like it - the truth is, the conservative and liberal elites are aligned in wanting to have a sub-class of undocumented subhumans that their corporate sponsors do not have to pay fair wages to. That’s why they don’t like ICE, but they love undocumented workers.
So just remember what you are actually fighting for with your lil protest: defending corporate interests in keeping a slave class.
Coach
I like how you are pretending that comprehensive immigration reform has not passed because of AOC and Ilhan Omar. That’s, ummmm, not what happened.

How does a junior m&a associate strike if there’s a deal closing on Friday, Pls advise
Coach
Respectfully, that does not accomplish the goals of a general strike at all. The entire point of a general strike is to show the powers that be that the people can shut everything down, not that the people can adjust their schedules to call their congressman.
Mentor
I am going to try and schedule as many 1/30 meetings as possible
How is it going folks are we striking right now
Coach
Haven't even breathed today. Sticking it to the man.
Oh man this was a great read. Thank you for the entertainment I hope your “strike” was all you hoped and dreamed

STRIKE!
And the banks will burn
Money will be useless
There will be open and unpunished murder in the streets
It will be guns and roving mobs
Land will be useless
Food will become a diminishing return
Nuclear power will be taken over by the many
Explosions will continually shake the earth
Radiated robot men will stalk each other
The rich and the chosen will watch from space platforms
Dante’s Inferno will be made to look like a children’s playground
The sun will not be seen and it will always be night
Trees will die
All vegetation will die
Radiated men will eat the flesh of radiated men
The sea will be poisoned
The lakes and rivers will vanish
Rain will be the new gold
The rotting bodies of men and animals will stink in the dark wind
The last few survivors will be overtaken by new and hideous diseases
And the space platforms will be destroyed by attrition
The petering out of supplies
The natural effect of general decay
And there will be the most beautiful silence never heard
Born out of that.
The sun still hidden there
Awaiting the next chapter.
Imagine me thinking that A19 was serious…obviously was a poem. I just think it’s a hilarious amount of histrionics and responded sarcastically

Do you honestly think the people who self select into the industry where the biggest (only) draws are money and prestige will risk their jobs over something pesky like morals? (And not even accounting for the substantial percentage of big law folks who encourage this administration's behavior, both actively and passively).
Think about all the firms that capitulated to Trump in a major concession to the violation of one of tenets of the rule of law and think about the disappointing lack of response by the associates and partners then.
I dunno, are you participating?
