Worth the time/effort to be the top billing associate firm wide?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 12th, 2013 12:13 PM Author: Adulterous Theatre Round Eye I'm close to it right now. To end the fiscal year as the top billing associate (firm wide, all associates), it would require consistent 300 hour months for the next 3-4 months. Our firm gives discretionary bonuses, and I'd likely be looking at a 30-50k bonus.
Is it worth it? I'm doubtful that I want to stay here long term, but I could obviously use a 30-50k bonus not to mention the increased salary bump next year (probably a 20-30k bump). On the downside, my life would absolutely suck for the next few months. However, I am planning a 2 week vaca over the holidays, so there is certainly something to look towards. |

Date: June 12th, 2013 12:55 PM Author: learning disabled plum pit ceo Would you get the salary bump without being top billet. If so, you're looking at 30k bonus + (30k bump - anyway bump)/hours worked, as the amount of money you're getting for each additional hour. If the anyway bump is zero then its worth it. If not, i dunno man (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2279871&forum_id=2#23380554) |

Date: June 12th, 2013 1:04 PM Author: Adulterous Theatre Round Eye My salary will likely go up by at least 10-15k. It's proportionate to my collections for the fiscal year. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2279871&forum_id=2#23380624) |

Date: June 12th, 2013 1:04 PM Author: multi-colored university since you obviously work at a ttt firm that doesn't have lockstep salary bumps, so you should remove the stain of your ttt firm on the resume by stating what a hard and diligent worker you are.
