I got screwed when I lateraled end of August 2021. 2 weeks of non-billable onboarding and training. A slow October and January (my firm is on a 1/31 FY), and pow, no way in hell I hit the annualized goal.

I heard from a recruiter that most firms have cut-off dates between April to July 1. You should definitely check with a recruiter on the specific firm you’re interested in

I lateraled in Nov (from in house) and got a guaranteed bonus, but my firm had a policy of no signing bonuses. Very chuffed though.

The timing doesn’t matter. But sometimes, if you come toward the end of the year, they prorate the bonus.

It is more about how long you are there to be entitled for the year end bonus. But it can also be negotiated based on supply and demand. When they are giving you money to make up for what you have lost, that is generally in a signing bonus.

Well-traveled people: what seem like the best major market cities to live in with access to great in-house jobs (FAANG, adjacent companies, etc.). Some markets seem like really fun places to live but seem insanely expensive (San Fran, DC). Others seem like great comp to cost of living ratios but you seem like you’d basically be in a boring suburb (Raleigh, etc.) or have major drawbacks (arctic weather in Chicago, etc.). Maybe I’m totally off base though. Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts.

All through my time coming up through law school I had people talk about “make sure to befriend the paralegals,” “the paralegals know more than most attorneys,” etc. However, in my experience, paralegals and other support staff are pretty much useless for doing anything besides the very narrow house of tasks that they do every day. They push back on asking them to assist with anything else and are generally very unhelpful. Is the “helpful paralegal” meme just a myth or a memory from decades ago?
