Just found out that I only need to hit 85% hours to qualify for bonus as counsel. I’ve been counsel for several years, and that was never conveyed to me before. Not gunning for partner, so time to take my foot off the gas a bit.

That’s like getting a whole new bonus! (That you should have qualified for years ago). I’m sorry / congrats on the new discovery!

I’ve consistently hit hours, so it’s more of vacation I would have gotten. And bonus might have been lower with lower hours. But still, it’s a weight off my shoulders.

Firm?

OP id love to know what firm you're at. I am looking to move and also counsel at my firm. Please DM me if you don't wish to disclose in this post.

Is this because you're basing it on WAR or because you truly only need 85% utilization?

Yes, total compensation is supposed to be calculated based in part on expected revenue for the firm, so bonus will probably be lower at only 85% utilization. I just assumed it would be $0 under 100% like with associates at my firm.

Thoughts on this Celine Tripmphe bag (maybe in teen size since I’m petite)? I LOVE Celine bags and already own Classic Box (light grey) and Micro Belt bag (amazon green). Would this overlap with my collection, especially the classic box? I feel guilty dropping $3-4k for a bag when my salary’s only 100k. But I want to treat myself for upcoming promotion (hopefully) and for going through hard year in 2020. Was looking at Navy Blue but also considering black, camel or more fun colors (red, pink)

Hi Fishes,

Need some suggestions from everyone. I have 4.5 years experience and I was working as contractor in ZS and my CTC in parent company was 7 Lakhs.

ZS were willing to offer me FTE as ZS but at a compensation of meagre 8.5 Lakhs. I tried negotiating but they sticked with this.

How come ZS do that? Why can't they pay more as they generally pay 15+ for 4.5 years experience.
