Question regarding firm’s billable bonus. Recently saw we have a billable bonus structure for each quarter. It’s based on post pre-bill cut hours (billed hours). Flat rate for 540, (monthly req is 170) then increasing rates per hour after. They’re paid at the end of the following quarter (Jan-Mar gets paid end of June) for employees still working there. Does this sound off?

We are similar for associates only. Gets paid over the next quarters payrolls. But based on 150 per month

I don’t know how common this is for law firms, but this is a very common bonus structure for many other fields. My husband is a veterinarian, and this is how his bonus works (percentage of any production over the quarterly goal).

My firm is super similar but we get it paid month after the quarter

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

The amount of people, even attorneys, who can't separate out the policy merits of abortion from the issue of whether it is a constitutional right is disappointing. I consider myself pro-choice ---I believe states should allow it, that the federal government can pass a statute to guarantee it, and that FDA statutes and regulations will preempt any state trying to ban chemical abortions through FDA approved drugs. Dobbs at its core is a case about the Due Process Clause, not the policy of abortion
