I interviewed with BB&K in law school. They had an 1850 billing requirement and 100k base for first years (this was like two years ago, so unlikely it changed much). I can’t imagine it’s a great gig in a big city, but maybe in the Inland Empire or other more rural areas in California. They do almost exclusively municipal and government work. I had a Court of Appeal Justice tell me that the firm works you really hard, but he came from a smaller firm, so I don’t know what his standards looked like billing wise.

They pay well below market. But if you want to live in a lower COL area in California not bad

I’ve been with firms for 6 years. I struggle (not that I’m not intellectually capable of doing this job), I just hate the detail oriented nature of this industry. Everything gets scrutinized so carefully and most things I stayed up late for doesn’t matter.

It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
