PWP 2021 SA return rate + pay bump?
Title says it. How was the return rate at PWP (particularly NY) this summer? Does anyone have insight into if they’re planning on bumping pay and what bonuses looked like this year as well?

bump anyone also know what bonuses looked like this year?
Still have the rest of the week.
We don't hear until Thursday. Historically, it is very high. The firm is growing like crazy and I think it's safe to assume it will be high again (+ significant FT hiring for our size because of growth trajectory). Also, no one has mentioned a pay bump yet. I think they’ll move at some point to make up at least part of the gap. We have less mouths to feed than an EVR, so I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility to match 120 A1 (but this is all conjecture on my part).
Bump, any confirmation?
bump
Bump
Return rate was about 65% this year, not sure why so low but maybe they found candidates they liked during FT
wow, this is concerning as an incoming SA, any idea on why people didn't get offers?
Is that return offer rate or % of class returning (including people that didn't accept returns)
Offer rate
Do you know how many people they are looking for FT? With the superday occurring right now?
I think at least 10
Can you speak a little to why the offer was so low? Were the interns you guys are cutting incompetent? Just seems extremely far form "your offer to lose". ESPECIALLY in a virtual environment where it wasn't easy to make a good impressions, etc. (I SA'd at PWP and got a return thankfully btw, but I'm honestly pissed bc of the low return rate (best friend got fucked) and will consider reneging)
in exact situation, some of my closest friends I made this summer got axed for unclear reasons and I will 100% be re-recruiting
They don't understand a big reason we liked the firm was the people we interned with and now they're gone don't find the firm as attractive
Yeah, quite literally in the same position. We probably know each other lol
