People who were lateraling without being on track for hours and seeking the year and bonus with the new firm, did the question of hours come up and how did you handle it during interviews to make sure you got the bonus from new firm?

Try and answer with something like “busy!”

Haha that might work

I got asked how busy I’d been in interviews but it wasn’t connected to the guaranteed year end bonus at offer stage. My recruiter seemed to think guaranteed bonus was standard, although I guess the lateral market has cooled a bit so maybe that’s changed.

I had been super busy so I answered with my billables. If your billables aren’t great you could keep it general with “super busy!” or something like that. Maybe this isn’t super ethical but they will have no way of knowing what your hours actually are so I think it’s fine if you talk up your busyness a bit.
