I have heard generally the standard starting rate is around $110k-$120k for first years, with raises between $5k-$8k each year. More for Stamford or areas closer to NYC.

Some big law firms with satellite offices in CT actually match or come close to matching NY, though they often have very small offices/limited lateral opportunity. Of the mid-sized firms I know some are as high as $140k first yr, even in Hartford. Feel free to DM me or email astisser@cogosearch.com if you would like to discuss further. I worked in big law recruiting for 15 years before moving out to CT myself (now I place attorneys).

I’m unsure what the proper time is to ask for a salary bump.

Backstory:
I joined a top 20 freight brokerage as a pricing analyst about 6 months ago and keep hearing from my direct lead (c-level) that I have basically moved mountains for this new team I joined.

I’ve streamlined processes that has led to lower operational costs as we don’t need to hire ops team members now. With this I have the quantitative data to back it up.
