How was your bonus? - 2nd year pre-MBA associate

If you don't feel comfortable posting a #, post what % of your base salary you received, and if you received a raise in salary. There are a lot of very low #s floating out there which unfortunately I'm a part of and I'd like to see what actuals are like.

2nd Year pre-MBA associate (non BB in NYC), 10k bonus, 60k salary raised to 70k

HarvardOrBustI thought it was flipped in ER, where you start off as an Associate.

It is. Usually goes something like Associate, Sr. Associate/Jr. Analyst, Analyst Senior Analyst with various forms of those titles being used at different places.

I chewed Orbit for 4 years (about a pack a day when I was doing school work). Trident Layers (Strawberry) is absolutely amazing. It takes a few pieces (half a pack) to get used to, but it is 100x better than Orbit. It has a tangy taste and can last for hours without getting stale or dried out.

How many packs of layers did that endorsement cost?
