Have a salary review coming up in a month. I am a third year associate in the Boston area. Current salary is $90k with bonuses, no fee sharing at my firm. The work is mostly auto accidents/slip and falls, but they give me side tasks unrelated to PI fairly often. What should I be asking for?

How much money are you making the firm based on your cases/work

like

Ya but OP, you are an attorney. Your firm likely makes 33.33%-40% depending on jurisdiction for each case. And you should know costs on the cases you work on. At minimum you can see the closing statements your firm sends clients. You should know how much your work is generating the firm. And after three years, your firm is stonewalling this info, and not letting you negotiate claims, you need to move on from them. You aren't doing yourself anygood unless you are content. You need to learn and the only way to do that is by jumping in. You cannot negotiate salary/bonuses if you don't even know how much your work is producing. Find that out, then ask yourself what % of that production are you making. If its not at minimum 25% of what you are producing, you need a raise.
