Is it typically much different?

BASE jumped up about 50% as a partner. Figure the bonus needs to as well to stay a meaningful amount over senior associate bonuses plus summer bonuses

V50

Whatever you want to call it. A monthly draw and then a big payment at the end of the year as the profits are split up.

my income has not really gone up but i'm non-equity in an am law 200.

my base is pretty much NYC 8th year salary and my bonus was 150.

but at a V50, i would expect the bonus to be tied to your actual performance, not globally. that is how they make their money - they choke the partners who are not in control of the business. You are no longer a line-item in a budget. You need the rainmaker partner to GIVE you his money.

newsflash. "they" will never part with a nickel unless they need to.

Firm pays market first year salary but not lockstep. Seniors are making high 200s base.

Before I moved to biglaw I assumed lockstep was universal but it turns out a bunch of firms don’t do it. It’s ttt and gay.

is there a difference between "Kirkland fake partner" and any other "income" partner? its almost always just a title. no power. just dont have to go through the associate review process and can't really get fired in the same way.

Kirkland fake partner = senior associate

Income partners have more meaningful upside and better job security
