I’m at an AmLaw 200 firm that does not give any type of holiday bonus. Is that common? I previously worked at smaller firms and associates were always given $1000-3000 extra in December before the holidays.

Holiday bonuses aren’t a thing. The year-end bonuses aren’t holiday bonuses. And some firms don’t even pay it out until January-March. And many associates don’t even get it (at firms that have hours requirements for a bonus).

I worked at a firm that gave me $1000 in December as a 1st year - I thought that was the coolest thing. Now I’m not amazed by my $57k+ bonus.

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients. Second round of interviews with a comm lit boutique where I would be the only associate with 5 partners. Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.
