For anyone that received an offer recently, did you negotiate for a signing and/or guaranteed bonus? Not in a rush to leave my current firm but also know the market has changed quite a bit. Is there anything else you should be making sure is in your offer letter?

Regardless of current market environment, this late in the year you want some language pertaining to how and to extent you qualify for end of year bonus. Either that or they should be making you whole now

It's very case by case. If you are being made whole on bonus, then it would be somewhere in range for last year in your class year. You can dm for a more tailored reply

Most places I get the sense that market now is making whole on bonus but no additional signing bonus unless there is an extreme need or you are getting poached from a main competitor

Bear in mind that in this market a firm might just defer your start date to '23 rather than make you whole, especially this late in the year.

The managing partner of my office likes to make jokes about Covid now that it is “over” (either in small group convos or speeches to the office). My dad died from Covid, and I honestly feel like it’s so insensitive for him to make these comments when he knows that I lost my dad to it. Our office isn’t that big, and I don’t think many people forget being told that someone they know lost someone from Covid. It has made me consider leaving because of it, but the economy isn’t great.
