Started at firm in second week of March and am at 1,700 right now, on pace for 2,000+. M&A 7th year. Who else is this busy? Keep reading M&A down across the board, but not feeling it here…

Obviously love the job security, but am at lockstep bonus firm and pretty sure at this point bonus will be on base scale last year, so kinda bummed about that.

Yeah I’m in Funds and we have a similar situation where we are just as busy as last year but won’t be getting any of the special bonuses because corp work overall is down. It sucks but like you say at least I’m not worried about my job. I’m at a V10 in case helpful.

Last years bonus scale for a 7th year is 115k, I think, so not sure what you would be disappointed about.

Haven't had a month less than 240 since May. But I would expect if you hit 2000 and started in March, the utilization would be equivalent to like ~2500 hours. So I would think your bonus should reflect a pretty nice topper dependent upon your firm.

Which firm?

M&A second year currently pacing for ~2400 for the calendar year. Past two months pacing for ~2700.
