Curious to know what other firm's bonus structures are, particularly those with billable requirements of 1900 and below. Trying to understand what the norm is and figure out if associates at my firm are getting screwed. thanks

What are you getting? Keep in mind taxes eat up about 50% of anyone's bonus.

Mid size in California. Billable requirement is 1800. We get $2,500 every quarter we hit 450 hours (for the first three quarters), $1,000 for every 10 hours billed over 1800, and 4% guaranteed bonus at year’s end.

It’s alright. I’m in California at a firm that pays first years base salary of $100k, so base salaries aren’t very high

like

Our "bonus" is pro-rated hourly pay multiplied by # hours over billable requirement. Ex, gross take home is $180k, divided by 1850 req = $97/hr. So you get $97 for every hour over 1850. So we get paid overtime.

Why is it dumb? Seems fair to me.

Is it normal for your bonus to be based on your fees collected rather than your hours

Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏
