Associate Lawyer - being released from small firm. A base salary of $30/hr = $4,500/month before deductions. Been here almost 4 years as a lawyer + 2 prior as a assistant/articling student, I've been told that I need to bring in $15,000/month in fees before I can make more. I currently have a file load of approximately 70 files, I estimate that I will be bringing in approximately $35,000 in fees as I prepare for my exit, What is a reasonable request for the fees they're making from my work?

Received an offer from the DOJ for a 2 year contract, doing work which seems more interesting/engaging than what I’m doing right now (insurance defence) - but for just over 9% less than I’m currently making, and the partner track has been outlined for me at my firm..feel like it’s not worth trading higher long term earning potential for contract + pay cut just because the work is more engaging..but on the other hand, ID is starting to bore me..thoughts/refs to anyone at DOJ would be appreciated
