    I made the right decision… I made the right decision… I made the right decision… Can I borrow a few bucks?… I made the right decision…

    Let’s not make this about me. This is about first years making $160,000 a year! They know nothing!

    What Chugarte said.

  5. Pokerwolf Says:

    If the first years are making that much, doesn’t everyone else above them get a bump up too?

    This is a “sweetening the pot” deal to entice graduates to take the medial, grinding, jobs anyway.

    Why do I get the sneaking suspicion that my insurance rates are about to go up….

  7. David Says:

    The firm is still charging $250/hr for those n00b associate’s time. That, maybe, is where the crime is.

  8. David Says:
