For those of you switching firms post-clerkship, what, if anything, did you negotiate with your firm? Clerkship bonus, receiving a portion of bonus prior to starting, pro rata year-end bonus? And how did you approach that negotiation?

Just relocation expenses. There was already a pro rata year end bonus, and I didn’t try to get more than the standard 2-year clerkship bonus. The firm wouldn’t budge re: receiving a portion of my clerkship bonus prior to starting, but it’s worth a try!

It will be a one time payment with my first paycheck, but it might depend on the firm.

I got my firm's standard clerkship bonus, prorated bonus, timed my start date to get an extra week of PTO (awarded based on number of quarters so I started the last week of the 3rd quarter instead of the first week of the 4th quarter), and got relocation expenses covered. Relocation expenses just required submitting for reimbursement after I started. Clerkship bonus was given on a separate paystub on the same day as the first paycheck I got.
