Slalom Consulting this might be a total long shot, but I recently finished the interview process with slalom and they gave me a *verbal* contingent offer for an incoming contract. However, I just found out I might have to relocate to Boston soon. I would love to stick with slalom as the goal company, but wondering if I could talk to the recruiter about transferring my application to the Boston office? Any advice? TY!
Would a law degree help me get into VC?

The small handful of firms that pay even above them like Watchell and Susman deserve to even be ahead of them.
Yes nobody wants to be at Susman and bill 3000 hours a year (except you nerds)

It's not a comp ranking it's a prestige ranking. Does anyone actually want to work on the kinds of matters Milbank works on?

SMD1 sounds like maybe you’re not aware that vault is solely determined by associate surveys? No editor is deciding it’s based on comp vs prestige vs whatever, they just collect feedback from all the BigLaw associates and then generate the rankings accordingly. Hence why Milbank has already shot way up the rankings since they started pushing comp, OP’s call to reward them isn’t new and has resulted in success already, because many of us associates realize we have the power to rank them higher and incentivize more raises.
Who cares about vault other than law students?

Hey A1, who do you think law firms care about recruiting?
As 1 what?

AA1 must work for a v300 😂😂

Also, keep in mind how the survey actually works. You don’t rank firms in order, you give them a score from 1 to 10. So if you give Milbank a 10 but also give the V10s a 10, Milbank will not move up. You need to give them a 10 and cap all your other firms at 9 or lower for it to have an effect.

I tagged “AI Hallucinator Bot” as #1. Sorry!
I’ll do that if they match Knobbe’s Spring bonuses. Even better if they do that and raise base salaries by $20k or more for seniors.
