Hmm, these numbers are surprising. I’m at 140k for 1,800 second year, which seems very reasonable. I started at 120k for 1,700.

It’s basically 20k for 100 billables. So theoretically, if I wanted to bill 2,100 and have no life, I would be at 200k, which is right on par with a lot of the raises we are seeing recently.

They’re not a “good firm” they’re not well respected among the biglaw community and while they are amlaw100, everyone understands they’re not as reputable of a firm as their peers

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?
