Scale increase just announced. $10k for junior classes through 2022, $20k for 2021 and up. Effective July 1.

How does working reduced hours at a v10 actually work? You don’t need to respond to emails Friday - Monday? Someone else from the team is just happy to always take over when you’re out? Kind of seems like a hack to get 60% SA salary and work less but cant see how it actually works without risking the pay cut to still work 2000 hours because the team is busy.

I have a $1.2M net worth as a 3rd year NYC mid level (including home equity) yet I still feel broke and empty. Majority of paycheck simply goes into retirement accounts, mortgage or index funds. Not interested in dating/relationships and most days I just eat a six piece chicken McNuggets on the way home from work for dinner and rice and beans at home on weekends. No traveling, no vacations, not close with family (not interested in any of that). Anyone else similar? I can’t be the only one

I’m a junior associate and a very well-regarded mid level has taken me under her wing. She’s really nice and is a great mentor, but also bills near 3k hours every year and expects everyone is always online and working past 12 am as a default. How do I push back on this situation without harming the mentorship relationship?

My juniors suck so much that it’s actually affecting my mental health. I’m annualizing 2700 and have zero help except first years who give zero fucks to accept feedback or take instructions. I’ve been asking for more help for months and keep getting told everyone is crushed. Just want to curl up and cry.
