The New Normal Sinking In As More Firms Join Davis Polk With $205K Scale

Another firm joins the new new scale.

To think we spent a hot second wondering if the market would follow Milbank to $200K. As it turned out, the market was more than ready to jump up to $205K.

Dechert has now joined Davis Polk at the new scale in an email sent to associates this afternoon. The jump also kicks in on July 1.

The subject heading is “Associate Compensation and Extraordinary Bonus Announcement.” Tipsters report some bonuses for 2200+ hours and 2400+ hours, though we don’t have those laid out in the screenshot.

But they’re apparently extraordinary!

(EDIT: Scratch that, we have the complete memo now… though it’s a little harder to read)
