If true, it’s probably exciting news for the folks at William Blair. With Baird, and now Lincoln, raising salaries, it’ll be interesting to see how WB leadership responds.
They already did respond yesterday. Had an IB wide call and management acknowledged that Blair’s competitors had recently raised salaries, but gave no indication that they would be matching.
Oof that’s honestly pretty surprising. Hopefully they’ll catch up soon.
I guess street base is now $100k with some +/- $5k
Thank you GS13
great butterfly effect example
blair next please
please Blair.... we're getting desperate over here
Chicago
Same comp in LA as Chicago?
blair wont not match, they will just match and lower bonus and effective comp will not change
How are Blair bonuses traditionally?
How are Lincoln bonuses vs. base - 80-120%?
curious as well
All in was $190-200k for top bucket first-years. Its difficult to nail an exact range given the base salary bump this summer but believe 80-120 sounds right
Top bucket at Lincoln for 1st years was $188,497 all-in. Bonus was 94.19% of base.
