This Biglaw Firm's December Has More Green Than A Deciduous Forest!
Talk about ending the year with a bang!
Few things bring joy like a bit of unexpected cash! And while bonuses are expected at this point… it’s still pretty nice to read that your pockets will have a bit of extra lining. If you’ve seen an Orrick associate with a some additional pep in their step, this is probably why. Check out the bonus scale!
Now that’s a reason for some Christmas cheer! It is also worth mentioning that Orrick’s annualized hours expectations for bonuses is set at 1950 hours. And while that’s only a few days’ less worth of work compared to firms with a 2000-hour expectation, it is also a few days’ less work. Comparable pay and a functional extra couple days off? Talk about the holidays coming early.
Happy Holidays!
