Did they bring in business as well? Or the bonus was solely based on hours?Anonymous User wrote:At my St. Louis firm someone in my year got a bonus of almost 2x NYC Market for our class year. Spoiler alert: This person billed a lot. It can definitely happen for the juniors/midlevels. As you get senior, you cap out around NYC Market bonuses at my firm.

No business. Junior associate. My bonus was basically NYC market (a little shy). Billed about 2300.

Re: 2015 St. Louis Market Compensation
Thanks for the info. Are you at one of the St. Louis firms that roughly pay St. Louis "market" for base salary? Do you have a sense as to whether getting a "market" NYC bonus is pretty standard, or whether you were above the curve at your firm given your high billing? Finally, what approximate class year are you? (E.g., 1st-2nd year, 2nd-3rd year, 3rd-4th year, etc.)Anonymous User wrote:No business. Junior associate.

The BC bonus scale from last year is available on ATL and I'm sure this year's will be soon enough too. This year's is basically 30% higher than last year's.

Can anyone share more specific numbers on the individually-negotiated clerkship bonuses?

Rumor around the streets is that a certain St. Louis office paid a 250k bonus this year to a highly sought after lateral associate.
