I've heard that K&E's bonuses are "market shattering" -- whatever that means. Can anyone provide some insight into this topic?
From what I've heard, first year ranges from 19-24K, second years can reach 40K, and then 4th/5th/6th year associates can gross almost 500K (salary+bonus).
CHICAGO OFFICE.
Is this true at all? Obviously, factors like hours and quality of work come into play, but can you speak to specific figures as a K&E associate progresses? Thanks

If you Google this topic you'll find plenty of on-point ATL articles. Kirkland's bonus scale usually leaks.

1.25x Cravath/Simpson scale if you're bad at your job, 1.75x Cravath/Simpson if you're good at your job. Most are right in the middle. I wish K&E made this a reason to work there over other shops, but frankly the difference is mostly hour dependent, and therefore rarely worth it.
There is a decent amount of internal rumor about going back to the 3x / 4x days of yore, but I'll believe it when I see it.
