Credit seems okay but your base is low
Generally should be 1/3 of whatever you're billing depending on a lot of factors.
So let's say: 300/hr and your bill 1800 hrs. You billed $540k. A third of that is 180k. You'd top out at $180k.
Member's calculus also makes sense.
It is common for your base to be calculated at a third of your collections. I am a paralegal at a boutique in a HCOL city and make about the same salary.
I love to hear paralegals making more than $90k a year but it’s also confusing because I’ve busted my ass to be a lawyer and I have more responsibilities than a paralegal <\3
What do your bonuses look like? I'm 1600 billables, 3YOE with 140k base, billed out at $300/hr, commercial lit

Base seems low. Can you ask for a raise?
