Re: What is your firm's current referral bonus?
For the firms that pay $50k+, is there any real benefit to getting an associate referral versus a recruiter? I feel like at that point, the difference in cost is negligible and firms probably know that associates refer random people too.

I think it depends on the practice group and office. I have friends that have said it goes up based on the need.Anonymous User wrote:What's your source for K&E? I work there and understand it to be $25kAnonymous User wrote:I'll start!

It's $25k. For a couple months a while back they bumped it to $50k temporarily, but it's back to $25k.Anonymous User wrote:What's your source for K&E? I work there and understand it to be $25kAnonymous User wrote:I'll start!
