Seems like a "Boutique" firm that doesn't value their paralegals........... Just one reaction. I could be wrong?

Run. They do not value the work a paralegal does you are also accepting far less than market value.

Seems like with them considering a clerical position in the same ranks as a paralegal is so out of the norma but then again, that is New York, out of the ordinary. They lack respect for the duties of paralegal’s which is far beyond and great than a clerical person. Stay away from them.

Poked around on LinkedIn and there wasn’t a single listing I was interested in that I felt genuinely qualified for. Did I somehow fall behind or does everyone just have unrealistic expectations?
