I'm too lazy to look up my memo, but is the bonus as "above market" as the meeting made it sound!?

I don't think anyone wants to be the first person to post stats before bonus emails go out. Will say mine was meaningfully above-market.

Do we really think there are staff members finalizing the memos in Chicago at 8 PM on a Friday? Or are we going to have to wait for Monday for this?

I'm sure they programmed it for the e-mails to go out at a certain time.

Just got mine. Keeping it vague -- 3-5 yr associate, 1850 hours, got just a smidge over market.

Can't complain. Given how many firms have 1900+ cutoffs for bonuses now, this feels like getting above market.

3-5 yr, 2800-3200 hours, 1.6x of the market (I.e., base + special). Grateful for the money after a rough year of work.

5th year, 2 rating, little over 2100: 1.3x base + special bonus.

Less than I've gotten in the past, but can't complain; sounds like the truly high billers are getting paid as they should.
