Like many large law firms, it depends on the office, practice group, direct report. I’ve heard more good than bad.

I’m at JL and I love it. I will say that I work at an office that’s recognized as one of the most collegial offices at JL, and I have heard that other offices have more… difficult personalities to work with. With our two compensation adjustments last year we are very competitive with similar midlaw/big 4 positions, but our base still lags behind Littler’s base. However, our bonus structure is MUCH better than Littler’s bonus structure, so the delta isn’t that far off all things considered.

Most positions are listed on our website with pay ranges (thank you pay transparency laws). In major markets our salary scale tops out at like 260-275 for associates I believe.

I don’t see how that resolved the conflict…and he’s fully pressuring me to meet. How to respond?
