Hi. My firm just published the craziest bonus structure for the attorneys and I have only worked at two firms so I am curious. What is the bonus structure at your firm?

Attorneys at my firm get 15% of revenue collected on cases they bring in. Occasionally they also get discretionary bonuses for exceeding hours or having excellent collections in a given month. This is a small/midsize family/probate firm, FWIW

Monthly bonuses based on hours billed and then discretionary annual bonus

Same. We have multiple tiers for monthly bonuses based on hours billed. The boss said it’s to reward those who work more but it is making it feel like a sweatshop. Quota driven instead of results driven.

My firm has either no structure or very little structure at all. Bonuses are handed out. You'll never know what it's based on, why you're getting it or if it's the same bonus given to everyone else. It's the same for attorneys. Everyone is glad to get it, but without any explanation or feedback at all it's just bizarre. But hey, thanks for the cash.

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.

Hi Fishes, I am new to this variable included pay structure. From my first company to current I am getting fixed pay only. So, I know how to calculate my in-hand salary with that. I can see here 10% is variable pay. I have some questions,
1. How much will be in-hand salary?
2. Is there any hidden component which may deduct from my salary?
3. How variable pay will be paid? monthly or quarterly or annually?
4. How much variable pay we will get by Average?

Tbh, I am scared. But I have set myself one year to learn something new.
I also want to go for a job that pays more (55k€ currently). I live in Paris, France, and software developers are not well paid.
