graduating in May. Anyone here in Dallas Midlaw (50-100 attorneys)? Trying to determine salary request. Firm is mostly ID, 1900 hours, but I'll be in the consumer financial litigation section. 110 sound reasonable?

$110k is low for midsize Dallas firm downtown.

Caveat that I know absolutely nothing about ID… but that sounds extremely low. I’d think ~$170k to start with annual raises of $5-10k is more reasonable. I’ll let someone more knowledgeable jump in if I’m incorrect.

I started at an ID firm for $110k and had a 2200 billable hour requirement. Much better than what I got. You also have to understand that ID charges their clients lower rates so you’ll get paid less than your non-ID counterparts

Seems really low. Maybe $150k?
