This is a firm-specific question, just look up the policy or ask HR. At my BigLaw firm, you get full market bonus regardless of any leaves during the year, but it varies by firm.

My firm prorates so you aren’t given a bonus for the time you’re on leave.

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
