Does anyone know if any firms bump compensation or bonus for passing the patent bar?
Did any firms formerly do this but stop after 2008ish?

Re: patent bar bump?
Pre-2008 firms did generally give bonuses for passing, or for having passed when you joined. A partner actually had suggested to me back in the day to not take it until I was working at a firm so I could make sure I got the bonus. I haven't heard of any doing it lately, though most firms will still pay for you to study for/take it as far as I know, but coming in with it done is one less thing to worry about, so taking it before may be worth it.
