Well it's Q4 2016 and bonus news traditionally comes out in the latter part of next month (around Thanksgiving). What does the market hold for big law associates this year?

My vote is the same exact scale as last year with 8th/9th years topping out at an even $100K. I think this will be the case even with the mid year base salary increase.

What do others think?

bump - with all these big deals getting announced (e.g., ATT/TW), looks like bonuses at least equal to last year even with the base salary increase.

Sounds about right. With the raises they will feel no need to give higher bonuses.

Same scale at "moneylaw" and then more differentiation, obscurity, fraud, deferral, from Hogan Lovells down to BigTex, then half-Davis Polk down to Squire Patton Boggs, who will not pay bonuses

Lit has been slowish at a lot of firms nationwide as well. Bonuses stay the same but firms find more ways to fuck people out of them and firms that gave a tiny more than Cravath fall back towards straight Cravath

At a v50 "optics of matching but not really firm"

Expect same scale as last year, but more people getting screwed out of bonuses from the slower practices

good reviews and over 2100 hours = good bonus that is same as last year

Honestly just want to see want Kellogg Huber does. I had an offer there a long time ago, but turned it down. They pulled a 500 MM fee this year and there are like 50-60 attorneys at the firm.
