Matches so far are McDermott, Mintz, and Cadwalader. We’ve seen before what DPW does when lesser firms (eg, Cooley) try to usurp its power as market leader. I think they’re going over the top tomorrow.

Ha. I wish stonkpicking were as predictable as DPW stepping in to shame other firms for trying to take their place.

I imagine a number of firms will match. The firms that immediately matched likely already had the authority under their partnership agreements to do so. Other firms things require a vote and therefore a meeting (or an email asking for objections), so that takes time (I would bet their are emergency meetings happening right now). They need to check budgets and financials and also address how to address associates in other markets. Just know that whatever happens will likely happen before OCI.

May the odds forever be in your favor.

Is it okay that I’ve been a slow junior as we’re hours away from closing?

There’s also so much about closing that I don’t understand and I feel like I’m bothering the higher-ups on the team whenever I ask. *end anxiety post*

Question for the Biglaw Bowl: How common is it to take a pay cut when being promoted from associate to income partner? I had heard about this happening at some lower ranked V100 firms. But now that I’m more senior and my friends are making partner, it sounds like it’s a lot more common than I thought and happens at firms where I wouldn’t expect it. Does anyone here have any insight into this? How common is it, how much of a pay cut, and how long until your pay catches up to associate pay?
