How widespread will the great resignation be after bonus season?! I’m thinking it will be wild. I know very few happy people right now and most of Big Law has developed a crap reputation for how they treated people during the pandemic. Just me?

I think great resignation has been wild even before bonus season. I don’t know the majority of associates at my firm anymore because of turnover over the last year.

I already left after last bonus season and am a reference for 4 people looking to move right now.

Agreed. It will be interesting to see the trend across the market. I know at least several at my firm who are actively engaged with recruiters… those signing bonuses are getting harder to pass up!
