Any insight into what NY Biglaw counsel positions pay? I imagine it varies but I think my firm may be majorly lowballing with basically just senior associate salary. Bonuses are likely just top of associate scale too so max $100k. I hear people leaving for much higher paid counsel spots elsewhere so curious.

Depends if partner track counsel or non-partner track. At my firm, both are paid above 9th year associates. Bonus comp is based on counsel industry comp not lock step.

Mine starts about 30k or so above senior associate. Top bonuses are maybe 1/3 more.

I have seen salaries $100-200k above senior associates, with bonuses comparable to senior associate levels.

I believe it varies widely from $350k to $700k depending on experience, rate, originations, and firm.

My amlaw 200 capped senior associates and counsel at $250k before bonus. Plenty of 9th year+ people were hitting this cap.

Note - these were people without meaningful origination so we’re not being considered for partner.

Note note - I also knew if a select few people who actually got downgraded from partner when their origination dropped off. This happened to a few litigators who got isolated big cases or clients, made partner, then couldn’t keep the numbers up. They got “transitioned” to of counsel. It was weird.

I’m afraid of getting a lowball offer since 1. they obviously know my current salary and 2. I’d be new at this particular role, although I meet qualifications. Any advice if that’s the case?

Luckily, I love to network and landed an awesome job at a big firm. Eventually, I’m hoping to work in-house. My question is this, will my grades always follow me? I’ve heard that with time and experience, not so much.
