Does anyone have intel on signing bonus amounts (apart from Covid and year-end) for mid-level litigation associates? The move would be to a V10 firm. Thanks!

Dependent on particular type of litigation, your class year, and sometimes exact starting date (some firm’s accounting departments won’t pay out signing bonus for Dec. start dates). DM me if you want more specifics.

Thanks! Also, do you think it matters that I’m being poached and they’re asking me to start ASAP?

Yes, but to an extent. Push too hard for an unrealistic number and at best you piss off your future boss and leave a permanent sour taste. Worst case they pull the offer if they were close to offering someone else or someone else has also come along. If you were targeted & poached, at the very least make sure you’re not leaving regular and special bonus behind. Be compensated. After that, get what you can but don’t make money the ultimate goal for an extra $10K-$20k above what they might offer.

Hello fellow SAP Consultants!
I am SAP HCM consultant having 4.10 years of experience. I feel that this module doesn’t have any growth. My first switch took me to 9LPA from 6LPA and now the second switch is being offered for 11.5LPA where I can see my fellow friends in SAP having more than 15LPA at the same experience on their second switch itself. Should I be worried about my skillset? Any insights would highly be appreciated. I feel stuck.
