Does anyone know what the minimum hours requirement to make bonus is in the US at Baker (in a normal year, not 2020 with COVID)?
I have received conflicting answers from a few people and I just want to make sure I am working enough going in the new year as a new associate.

Check NALP?

NALP says 2000 for Houston, for example

Doubt it varies by office, but just in case, they are all linked here: https://www.nalpdirectory.com/Page.cfm?PageID=34

Hi all!

Had 2 interviews in the first half of December for a Product Specialist role, but it's been quiet since the 13th.
I know it's a busy time of year but is it common for a Recruiter to ghost?
I followed up with a Happy Holidays e-mail to no answer and the recruiter no longer has a #Hiring on their LinkedIn profile so I was just wondering if I should take the hint and move on.

Appreciate any and all input!

General corporate in NY looking to lateral into tech transactions at one of the EC/VC firms. I’ve heard that I may get a class cut if I make the move but I’m ok with that. My worry is that EC/VC firms are crazy busy work differently from general corp, I also won’t have control over my hours, and potentially worse based on how billing differs (block billing on a few clients vs having to work with 15 or more startups). Is the same true for tech trans or IP group?

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me.
