Counsel - what is your comp and hours like? There is a lot of information about partnership at the firm I work but hardly any about going the counsel route. Midwest mid-size to big law firm.

It can be whatever works for you and the firm and it varies widely. I’ve been at 1,000 hrs, 1,450 hrs, and 1,500 hrs, comp is a straight % of the standard comp.

Nobody wants to give material bonuses though. Bonuses are really for pushing above and beyond on billables or material client generation, there is no celebration for hitting 1,500 hrs.

Depends completely on your level. If you have 10+ years of experience, you should not be looking to the associate comp chart, but rather to somewhere between associate and partner comp.

This is super weird but I feel like I can’t relate easily to people. Hear me out - I moved and lived in different continents, countries every 5 years or so until now… I feel like I’m an outlier and my life is super different from anyone else’s. I have some friends I’ve met at each stage of my life, but it’s been temporary. I feel like I’m always going in a different direction than others. It makes it difficult to have a stable life and close friends..
