Bonuses. It's English. Anything more or less reveals your retarded desire to look more intelligent than you are. Of course, your intelligence is imminently displayed by your rehashing of a very old joke that was never funny to begin with. I guess that makes you both smart and funny. NOT. As a point of fact, you might be the biggest moron to ever post on an associate board and anyone who has read judged.com or jdjive.com would agree that that's saying a lot. Anyone who knows anything about associate compensation knows that, except for a brief anomalous period, NYCBIGlaw sets the compensation standard, so when I ask about salaries going to $190K for first years, it assumes that we are talking about the first tier firms in NYC. As such, staying demographically focused, quarterly bonUSES do not exist in NYC, at least not at any “first tier firms" like Sullivan, Cravath, Cleary, DPW, Wachtell, etc. Firms like WSGR may pay out quarterly bonUSES in Cali, but they also downsized their associate pools by scores of associates in the last five years, had payout plans to encourage first-years to leave and created unreachable hour targets to get bonuses of any kind. Further, to the extent that such bonuses exist at these second tier and lower shops, the word is that they are increments that are laughably small. Like your dick. So small that even the top California firms feel no need to match, and they are no match for NYC to start.
Finally, and take this in the sense of constructive criticism, maybe if had you not spent so much time over those last few years web surfing and reading sites like this, maybe your sadsack ass wouldn't be being desparately looking to dredge up stale unfunny old jokes and would actually be at a place going to $190K, so you could offer us some real info. My suggestion for you is go get your shinebox you mutt.

Today a partner choose someone else to work with on a file. I Get in at 8:45 today! He comes in at 10:00! I can't believe he picked him!
The bastard. Most of the "mistakes" in the last file he gave were really his fault, cuz he didn't explain stuff very much. The client said it wasn't going to sue, and just wanted to take its file, so no harm.
I thought for sure he knew that it was his fault, and I'd get the new file. I studied up on the client on the internet and everything. Then he gives the file to that other guy. I'm 3rd year, he's only 2nd! NWTF?
I'm not in NYC, but for sure would like some NYC advice.
