[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yet housing in DMV remains at near bubble-peak highs, but no one is getting any real raises???[/quote]

Plenty of people are getting higher raises, extra shares, etc.  they just haven't posted here.[/quote]

I can see that, but surprised, because we often see people posting their astronomical salaries at BIGLAW or what not entrepreneurial gig, so figured those same people would be sharing their raise percentages (and generally posting a percentage is considered less gauche than the actual salary number).[/quote]

Please someone educate me on HOW the "bubble" can continue to grow with no one getting raises and the cost of living continuing to sky rocket. I aint that smart, but maybe one-a-yous can kinda talk to me about how this is possible?

all you biglaw-ers, where are you? [/quote]

DH's firm put big pressure on clients to get their payments in before the end of the year.  Many complied, so share values went up quite a bit.  That, coupled with a couple extra shares (sort of a raise), meant that DH's take home rose by 23%.  I am in a different industry.  I received a 10% raise and a bonus equivalent to my yearly salary.[/quote]

So DH was sort ofperformance bonus. Guess Law is doing fine newspaper articles not withstanding.  What industry are you in has that sort of raise and bonus? Lobbying?  Finance?  Thanks![/quote]
