Live in NJ and work in NYC, so living in NYC is going to be slightly higher taxes... a hair under $10k after withholding, but I got nearly $2k refunded from combined federal and state taxes, which I believe is due entirely to overwithholding on the bonus (which is standard due to the way bonus withholding is calculated) as I didn't itemize deductions and have really nothing else that could cause a refund.

Weak bonus news out of Mayer Brown. Rough bonus season for non-Kirkland Chicago firms, no?

I don't remember if somebody put it in the thread, but Cadwalader corrected up from STB to DPW if I'm remembering correctly.
