I did, three years ago. But maybe the market is way hotter now?

I didn’t. Went from white collar to health care, lateraled toward the end of my first year and will bump up to second year salary at the same time as others in my class year.

Yes but I didn't have to take a pay cut. I'm compensated per my original class year.

I’ve heard of K&E doing this

Yes I did

I did, came in as first instead of second

I was asked to take a two year cut at Kirkland so I rejected it. Found another firm that didn’t cut my year. I’d ask them to reconsider if you have more than one offer and you really want to work there?

Senior associate switching areas. No cut (I was very surprised).
