Skaddenfreude: In Case Anyone Still Cares

The associate pay raise story seems pretty played out at this point. We’ve certainly grown tired of covering it.
But in case it still interests you, here are two links (the second is old; we found it while cleaning out our inbox):
1. Atlanta-Based Firm Raises Salaries Twice in Two Weeks [Fulton County Daily Report]

“Troutman Sanders has matched the $130,000 starting salary for associates that earlier this month became the new top rate at several big Atlanta firms, said the firm’s managing partner, Robert W. Webb Jr.”

2. McKenna Long joins latest round of pay raises [Fulton County Daily Report]

“McKenna Long & Aldridge has joined the latest round of associate pay increases. The firm has raised starting salary in Atlanta to $130,000, effective Feb. 1, said William Clifford, a spokesperson for the firm. The firm has 55 associates in Atlanta.”

The firm also raised pay in its Denver office from $115,000 to $130,000 and raised pay in its California and Washington offices from $135,000 to $145,000. Bonuses will remain the same, said Clifford.

And here’s an open thread, in which you can say whatever still needs to be said with respect to associate compensation.
C’mon, folks — let’s debate appropriate base salaries for senior versus junior associates, once more with feeling!
