Featured Job Survey: Bonuses

Last week, our Associate Bonus Watch kicked back into high gear, with news (or teasers) from Ropes & Gray, Sidley Austin, Chadbourne & Pourke, Arnold & Porter, Wachtell, Fried Frank, and O’Melveny & Myers, as well as pay raise news from Boies Schiller. Today’s ATL / Lateral Link Featured Job Survey keeps that thread alive.
Update: This survey is closed. Click to see results for New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles San Francisco / Silicon Valley, Boston, and Texas.
More results from last week’s survey, which inquired into billing rates, after the jump.


As promised, here are more results from last week’s Featured Job Survey.
Although our Got Work? survey revealed that Harvard graduates were more likely than other law school alumni to be uncomfortable about their job security, it turns out that they are actually the most comfortable with their rates. Graduates of NYU and Columbia were more than twice as likely to believe their billing rates are too high.

Meanwhile, tax associates, among the busiest attorneys in our Got Work? survey, are the most likely to feel that their rates are too high. Real Estate and Structured Finance associates are actually more likely than any other attorneys to believe their rates are too high, despite the sinking demand for their services.

Thanks to everyone who responded. Check back tomorrow to see results from today’s survey. Until then, please leave your thoughts about salaries, bonuses, and rates in the comments.
