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.

It's $25k. For a couple months a while back they bumped it to $50k temporarily, but it's back to $25k.
