Hey all. Weird Q. May 2020 grad, lateraled to v20 in sept, started same day as brand new 2021 grads. Offer letter said, “Given your anticipated start date, you will not be eligible for a 2021 year-end market bonus.” My office’s head partner said same via offer phone call. Didn’t negotiate bc (dumb) was so giddy to accept. Did receive fall special bonus, tho. I worked my ass off the 15 weeks of 2021, want to discuss bonus with my team. Any tips would be very much appreciated - thanks all

I guess since the letter specifically says market, I would ask for a smaller bonus or something pro-rated commensurate with the time you’ve spent there and hours billed

Yea, that was my plan. Def going to ask for pro-rated. I’m more or less wondering approach. I’ve never asked for a bonus before. I want to draft an email, but I feel like sitting down face to face is more respectable. Should also mention the firm announced it is paying pro-rated bonuses to 2021 grads, so I feel especially entitled bc I started legit same day

Did the class of 21 grads get the special October bonus? How does the special October bonus compare to the bonus the 21 grads got? You might be SOL but I don’t think you’ll sound crazy unreasonable saying 21 grads got it so I should too.

Did you get a signing bonus?

No “signing bonus”, but did receive “special” October bonus (due to covid I believe and extraordinary efforts… etc). I had been at the firm for less than a month at this point
