Tbh anyone who is so free so as to be replying to this forum at this time on a Monday should probably start looking for a new job.

A bit pointless to be asking here right? This will obviously be firm-specific.

i mean within your firm, just to get a general idea

Am an assoc in big 4, corp department. large slowdown in work over the past few weeks. To respond to the query above, from my sensing with the partners there is a very slight sentiment that they might want to cut retention rates this year because there's not enough work even for the current assocs much less the trainees but it's still tentative as it is still unclear how badly exactly this crisis will hit the local economy.

My best guess is wait for the end of this circuit breaker -> start of may also coincides with when retention is usually offered in firms. you will only know then.
