What’s your firm’s bonus policy? My firm pays bonuses on the Cravath scale but requires us to hit 2,000 billables (which can include 100 pro bono hours) to get it.

Kind of like a secret Santa without any guidelines. Bring your billable hours to the firm as a gift, and the firm will bring a bonus.

But because no one set a dollar limit for the gift you might get screwed by bringing the best gift and getting clearance Halloween stuff in return.

At my firm, once you meet your billable requirement (1850) + 100 hours of client development, you take home 1/3 of the amount by which your dollars invoiced exceed 3 times your base salary. I really like the system.

Need help assess an offer from #PwC. Director of M&A IT (DDV - Deliver Deal Value). The offer has base salary (based on cohort - Tier 3 Home City) and sign-up bonus, but does not have the annual bonus structure for Director level at #PwC. HR lady said that they will give you that when you start. I would like that now (written format). She told me verbally the percentages but I do not recall them. Anyone from #PwC has that info in a PDF document?

Any documents? Much appreciated.

Junior associate here (2L). Got some ‘constructive feedback’ from a 4L. We went over budget on a matter, and 4L thinks it has something to do with my inefficient delegation to 0Ls (and not the all the out of scope work the client asked us to do but doesn’t want to pay for...). Delegated tasks included basic grunt work like splitting out documents, preparing execution versions and other low-level tasks. 4L asked me to check with them before I delegate anything in the future. Thoughts?
