I have never heard someone say Shearman in Dallas is close to tippy top…

What dept? Their M&A/PE groups have had a lot of turnover so the associates they have are working a ton. Comp is lockstep. Dunno if they matched the lastest raise, but they're near top of market if not the tippy top. Don't expect them to respect boundaries unless you're firm about it up front (and maybe not even then).

They matched the latest raises back in March I think. My friend works at that office. He works a lot, but I don't know that it's any worse than other big law firms in Dallas. He often works on weekends, but he usually has some flexibility to make weekend plans.
