Curious what bonus is normal for estate planners? I’m a mid level, been practicing for about 7 years (switched into planning 3 years ago) and am in a VHCOL city. I exceeded my prorated hours, was on mat leave, and only got about 6K. 1800 hour requirement. Is this normal?

What size firm? Haven't got mine this year, but last year was 12 (reduced to 8 for not hitting hours). 12 person firm in HCOL City (I would say VH, but Reddit says otherwise).

Thanks for sharing. I just saw this. The firm is about 25 attorneys.
