If my firm doesn't match by March 21st, I'm going to start looking. That will be two months from the initial Milbank raise and three weeks from the Cravath re-raise. If they can't get their ducks in a row by then, I can only assume it's not going to happen.

If you have a firm/group in mind, go for it (especially if you have a contact there that you trust to be honest about culture). If you’re thinking all biglaw firms are the same so you might as well get a some extra cash, I’d think twice if you’re otherwise happy at your current firm.

Starting to think the same. My firm actually still hasn’t implemented our annual raises (supposedly happening in the next couple of weeks), so my current comp delta is $65k.

Everyone is waiting to see if DPW re-raises Cravath. Once they announce match or raise the rest will probably move.
