We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

Usually At the A0 mark in tier 1-
13- 15L
A1- 14-17
A2- 15-19
A3- 16-20
A4-20-25
SA1- 27-30L
SA2- 32-38L
SA3-42- 48L
PA-1 50-56L
PA-2 54-62L
RP- 60-80L
Up unto the PA level the bonus amounts out of the above range from 10-20% until the SA levels and 25-30% at the PA levels. Of course some firms let you negotiate and take up more of the monthly take home rather than loading up your bonus but broadly at the A and SA levels, you can expect to neogtiate a maximum of 10-15 as bonus and let the remaining be loaded on to monthly take home and at the PA levels max 25%.
The above figures are mentioned on the basis of where I am in my own career (PA-1) and my tier 1 partner is pretty open to me about who makes what in order for me to ascertain their worth.
Equity: Not been through that but safe to say above 1cr and will all depend on the what you kill for the firm.
