Milbank has been the first movers in the last 2 salary changes. I am submitting a motion to change the colloquial term from "the Cravath Pay Scale" to "the Milbank Pay Scale".

Do people really want to work for a firm that’s desperate enough to make this change? Doesn’t it feel like they are hemorrhaging people and have to do this?

funnylike

Nope. That’s a management call and I’m fine with it if that’s what they thought was appropriate.

Honestly, people should leverage this increase as a way to not go back into the office. We'll go without the pay increase if we can be 75% WFH

I’m not sure less than three years is a long time. You’re right about the bunches though. I think you’ll see many notable firms peeling off from the NY scale either this time or soon. If you’re not a NY firm with a preeminent corporate practice the math just doesn’t work anymore.

will another major firm push it up even more tho....?

True, but Milbank always matches any increase. And those increases wouldn't have happened without my main Milbank 😍

Hey, would really like some advice here.

Recently graduated and am looking for full time roles. I've had four different internships, the last two in tech, and I've been doing marketing, specifically Product Marketing and looking for full time roles there. I was recently offered a role as a Product Marketing Associate - the team members sound great and responsibilities sound really up my alley, but they are locked in at 50k. I understand I'm a new grad and all, but is this a low-ball offer?

Imagine you're looking for a remote job at a large company with a sophisticated marketing function, strong manager, and room for growth. Making good traction, but then you're contacted by a company in a niche that FASCINATES you...like you read books about this subject for fun, you'd probably love this job. It's remote, the salary is good, the manager is nice, but you'd be the most senior marketing person; the company is about 200 people. What would you do?

Should I try to sign the 185 offer and try to see if I even get offer with MS and let the poly play out or should I just not worry about it and sign the current offer? I am pretty sure the compensation from MS is great.
