Date: November 28th, 2014 3:20 PM Author: Adventurous pit Thanks for your guess. I agree that would make sense. Do you then think cravath, Weil and others who matched the lower scale would then reissue bonus memos at the higher market scale?

Sometimes they take equity, but that is risky and slow--not ideal to pay cash bonuses. Those SV firms are also very highly leveraged--takes forever to make partner. So they have high PPPs but relatively higher per partner associate comp expense, as they would pay bonuses to like 5 associates per partner.

also SV firms have no incentive to do this; the startup dealwork is concentrated in 3-4 firms for the most part; they don't need to raise bonuses to avoid attrition to other firms or other exit options
also SV V50 firms charge lower rates than NYC V10 |
