This year or next. We are overdue and the special bonus gig will only last so long. Can't imagine much movement for JRs but would expect 5-7 to jump some

Rates went up again YoY.

Litigation is posting record numbers at my big huge firm. I have the impression its true elsewhere. I know firms are offering signing bonuses to lateral litigators.

Transactional seems at least OK. Tariffs probably get nuked by the Supremes which may help.

Firms are paying god**** 1Ls 100k.

Grid has been flat for a while. Given these tailwinds, I will be disappointed if it doesnt move up a touch.

There’s a practice group that I’ve been trying to find work in but whenever I volunteer to help, I always get roped in to do non billable work. In the beginning it was fine but now I’m feeling it’s never going to amount to actual work. Any tips to get more involved without all the non billables and how to approach this gently?

First year associate and I may barely hit 1500 this year. Requirement is 2000, though i know first and some second years at my firm don’t hit it.

I am a in a small specialist group who has 2 partners, and they both give me work. One of them said to not worry about my hours (though they do not know how low of a number i’m projected for). Haven’t asked the other.

Should I be concerned?
