Take CRA. Bigger firm better work. Also working at a larger firm has benefits.

Antitrust, life sciences, and energy are the highest paying practices. You can also look at the h1b data to see the cost of living differences

What did you like about CRA?

I would say CRA

What’s the base for analysis right now?

CRA here. Also had these two offers as new grad. I’d say go with your heart - which team do you like better during the interviews? Learning curve is more important for first job than comp/promotion. Firm size/network is definitely a consideration but your experience will largely depend on your supervisor and the immediate team/office you work with. Can only speak for CRA but there are partners/managers here that can be super exclusive and you’ll find yourself doing repetitive cases over and over again.

I’m an associate attorney at a mid-size family law practice. (5 attorneys, 3 support staff). I’ve been here for 3 years and just asked for a raise to $130k from $90k. My annual billable target is 1400. However, since I’ve been here I’ve barely broken 1000 despite working my ass off. I bill out at $375. They told me no more raises unless I start taking my own cases. Now they just hired a new associate and are paying him $170k and he takes his own cases. Am I being unreasonable asking for $130k?
