Does anyone know the culture and pay at Buchalter LLP? I heard a third year would get base around $160k and some bonuses? Is the base negotiable? How’s the work culture?

Base is likely negotiable but the firm does not pay well. Culture may differ based on office but it’s been changing since the firm is rapidly expanding. Bonuses aren’t that high.

Yes some people go for 2000. The bonus is more if you hit that naturally

Base is generally negotiable based on your rate. Culture will vary based on office and shareholder(s) you’re working for.

Usually $10k for hitting 1850, $5k Christmas bonus for being alive, $5-7k for every additional 50 hours over 1850, $20k for hitting 2000 hours. Message me if you want to talk about specific offices!

Band 1 base is $160, so a third year shouldn’t be getting that, but it’s really individualized. Most third years I know are around $200-230.
