In NJ i was told mine would be quite small the first year.
I'll message you
$5-$10k depending on the structure
I’d say this is even on the higher end for ID. The first ID firm I was at did not even give a bonus, just year-end raise (which was consistently about $5k-$7,500.) And this was company wide, so it had nothing to do with performance. The next one I was at was a small ID firm; I took a pay cut to go there because they were starting a “great” bonus structure. I ended up getting about $12k the SECOND year I was there - none the first year (took a while for my receivables/hours to catch up with the bonus structure especially because many of the clients were on quarterly bills). Needless to say that pay cut I took was not worth it, and I’m not there anymore. But, when looking for a new position it was clear that most of the bonus structures were peanuts at my local ID firms. I’m in house counsel with an insurance co now and my first bonus (which covers my first 5 months of work) was $12k.
