Florida associates (3-6 years experience) at regional decent size firms (or I guess really any firm), what is your hourly rate and salary? Thinking ahead about asking for a raise this year, and wondering if I’m limited at my firm bc our rates are seemingly low.

What market? Miami offices tend to pay differently than tampa/Orlando, which tend to pay differently from Jax/Tallahassee. Also, when you say “regional decent size firms” are you talking about ID-focused firms (e.g., CSK, wicker smith, etc.) or legitimate full service shops (Shutts, Phelps, Adams Reese, GrayRobinson, etc.)?

For central florida I’ve recently seen as low as $120k and as high as $195k for the roles that seem to fit your description (full service, regional, 3-6 years exp).
