Sounds like a bunch of firms laid down the hammer today with salary cuts, no raises; furloughing of staff, etc

FF is still firm on cutting expenses elsewhere, nothing directly affecting employees is on the table

Which ones?

Nixon Peabody furloughed 25% of staff last week, today furloughed 5% non partner attorneys and laid off 5% non partner attorneys

CFO and CEO of my firm held a meeting today. Said they’re cutting costs where they can, considering shortening the summer associate program, and partners are not taking their equity draws for the foreseeable future. They also said furloughs are not off the table and that decision will come in the next week or so 😐

A2 - I get that it would cast a bad light on the firm but also seems like a waste of time, money and effort if it can’t go on as normal. Would be a shame to those law students.

2020 grad M&A/PE Associate in LCOL area thinking about moving to a ECVC/M&A boutique. I generally like the work I do and the people I work with, but I really don’t like the hours and the constant late nights and weekends. Currently on pace for 2250. Boutique I have been eyeing has billable hour requirement of 1500-1600 and comes with a 20-25% paycut. Is this a stupid idea and should I grind it out until I can move in house? Will this ruin my opportunities down the road?
