All: This will confirm the new DC associate salary ranges that we discussed at the associates’ lunch today:

1st years — $160K
2nd years — $170K
3rd years — $185K
4th years — $200K/205K/210K

These changes should be reflected starting 9/1/07 in the paycheck that you receive on 9/15/07. Please let me know if you have any questions.
