I’m at Milbank and finished the evening at 2764.9 and 53 hours of pro Bono. I got zero. So firm dependent.

Discretionary bonuses are BS! I left a firm because that meant 0 bonuses.

Discretionary means exactly that

I don’t think my post was clear - I’m at a V20 with market bonuses. I was wondering if there’s an hours threshold where firms typically provide discretionary bonuses above market.

I’m at an Am15 law firm. We get market bonuses at 1,900 and discretionary over 2,100.

OP - This is obviously very firm-dependent. If you don’t name the firm, no one could possibly tell you.

Usually when firms do “discretionary” vs tiers of bonus bumps, they factor in performance/quality in addition to billable hours.

I’ll tell you know, it’s BakerHostetler.

So when are you leaving BakerHostetler? lol

Haha folks I promise I’m not at Baker! Just curious if billing a ton can generally mean an above market bonuses

Anyone has experience negotiating a medical bill with MGH. I got some blood work done and was sent a bill of 1800. The bill was 2700 but negotiated rate with my insurance is 1800.

MGH says prices are higher as we are a teaching hospital. It's just open loot and does not make sense. Anyone dealt with a similar situation.
