Normal to ask for a bonus during a mid year review? For context, I work at a small (20ish attorney) law firm in a major market. The firm said this is the first year they are doing mid year reviews for associates. I’m a first year, 9 months into the job.

No. Year end only.

Def not.

Probably not unless you negotiated salary being reevaluated at 6 months. Take the feedback and do what you can for year end.

Not at all, especially for a first year associate who hasn’t even completed a full year yet. Also, small firms *usually* do not give year end bonuses like big law does. My mid-size firm does not give very large bonuses if you haven’t completed a full year. I got a $7,500 bonus at year-end for 9.5 months of employment and a $35,000 bonus at year-end the following year.

For a small firm I wouldn’t expect more than $10,000 bonus at year-end and it’ll likely be less than that.
