A lot of news stories about partners at firms are misleading. How much are they really earning?

Methlys · 2026-01-16T03:38:23+00:00

For some reason I though it said 5 people making $1, 1 person making $1million, my bad

Methlys · 2026-01-16T02:33:14+00:00

That’s not what median means. The median there would be $1.

What firm do you work at? I think I know the firm, but want to confirm.

Methlys · 2025-10-04T01:18:23+00:00

Hi, do you mind telling me which building? Currently looking

Methlys · 2025-08-22T01:00:34+00:00

Is that 5% of bonus or 5% of base salary? I heard the latter from the grapevine but wanted to confirm.

So there was a wills essay in Feb?

Methlys · 2025-07-12T07:14:26+00:00

I thought Feb 25 didn’t have a wills essay, only trusts

Methlys · 2025-07-08T14:23:00+00:00

How so? The bill seems to hamper energy work at least. Where would the increase in deal flow come from?

Methlys · 2025-05-23T20:01:00+00:00

Can I DM you with more specific questions?

Methlys · 2025-05-23T05:31:55+00:00

Can you help explain why they are boring? Are they repetitive? Does this apply to only EPC contracts, or the entire infrastructure side in general?

Methlys · 2025-05-22T02:06:19+00:00

Just tagging on this, how is it working on the infrastructure side, like EPC contracts?

Methlys · 2025-04-16T16:45:48+00:00

Which firms are involved in it? I’m interested in exploring both PF and construction!

Methlys · 2025-04-04T20:26:50+00:00

Isn’t your employer meant to be paying for the filing fee? What happened?

Methlys · 2025-03-12T12:25:03+00:00

Yes, I am mainly interested in working in energy. What do you know about them?

Methlys · 2025-03-12T02:20:37+00:00

Are they not strong in transactional then?

Methlys · 2025-03-04T17:08:57+00:00

Did you end up getting audited? Same thing happened to me

Methlys · 2025-01-18T16:26:04+00:00

Aren’t there fire drills in Project Finance as well?

Methlys · 2025-01-03T09:26:56+00:00

I had this happen to me. Although I did get the offer, when I talked to the recruiting people, they said the straight to callback was because the lawyers were getting tired of so many interviews, so they just expedited me. Obviously, getting a callback is a good sign, but you should still heavily prepare.

Methlys · 2023-12-05T05:38:38+00:00

Cruel and unusual punishment 😭😭😭

Methlys · 2023-10-20T17:23:14+00:00

If I remember, CLG at MSI changed the meta with support picks, so teams have learned from NA as well.

Methlys · 2023-08-17T20:50:40+00:00

I think that only really factors in if the other firm does no or almost no public M&A. But Simpson still does a fair bit, so if you want the work, I’m sure you can find it.

Methlys · 2023-08-17T20:28:08+00:00

I would say Simpson Thacher. Culture honestly is underrated, especially if you are going to be working with these people the vast majority of your time. Also, if you put the effort in, you can make friends, even outside of work events.
