The new market standard salary may have taken effect at most firms on July 1, but we’re still hearing from associates at firms across the country about compensation changes in the wake of Davis Polk’s bombshell salary increases that have now become the status quo.
That’s where real-estate boutique Duval & Stachenfeld — the home of our former longtime columnist, Bruce Stachenfeld — comes in. We’ve heard that during a firmwide Zoom call earlier this month, managing partner Terri Adler announced that D&S would be matching the DPW scale. In case you’ve somehow forgotten, this is what that salary scale looks like:
- 2021: $202,500
- 2020: $205,000
- 2019: $215,000
- 2018: $240,000
- 2017: $275,000
- 2016: $305,000
- 2015: $330,000
- 2014: $350,000
- 2013: $365,000
