So Cravath announced bonuses equal to last year’s PLUS a “special bonus” to match the fall bonuses that some firms paid out this year. How do you think the market will respond? Will they match the special bonus? Match just the regular bonus? Something else?

I think the market will match both except firms that let people go publicly.

The fact that Morgan Lewis, not one of the top NY PPP firms, already matched, suggests that most firms that paid market bonuses last year will pay the bonuses this year.

I feel like firms with minimum billable hour requirements will match. That way they can use that as an excuse to not pay out said bonuses while still technically still being considered market.

They’ll match both if they haven’t already announced a different “special bonus”

Is it okay that I’ve been a slow junior as we’re hours away from closing? I’m trying to be proactive and available to cross things off the list but I’m SLOW: takes me long enough that they do it themselves (even though this wasn’t an issue earlier in the deal) and even on quick tasks or emails, they respond to it before I can click send. 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*

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.
