What the fuck is going on? Milbank announced raises (let’s ignore that they’re not even covering the cost of inflation) AND special bonuses, and every other firm is just sitting tight with no update…
Meanwhile, every firm is raising rates, announcing “record-level revenues” and throwing out outlandish numbers for high end partner laterals. AI has increased client expectations for quick turnarounds and offers room-temp-IQ associates a life line to stick around. The work keeps piling up.
The greed is unfathomable at this point.
