Early bonus predictions for YE 2015
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 26th, 2015 10:57 AM Author: rambunctious associate Based on what we've seen so far this year (we're one-third through now), do you think the crazy high bonus scale from last year will continue this year or will it go up or will it go down (and if up/down how far)? In particular, if it goes down, will it go all the way down to the prior year's scale?
Big difference between $50K (2013 bonus scale) and $100K (2014 bonus scale) for a c/o 2008 associate.
I'm thinking since M&A continues at a good pace it will stay close to last year's scale but may be a bit more compressed. I will guess it tops out at $90K for the most senior classes. |

another 1-2 years of bonuses at these levels or higher and base salaries will finally increase |
