Hello Everyone, I just interviewed for a staff attorney posting a big law firm in Manhattan.Their current position was staff attorney. I'm not familiar with the term and I am looking for a little insight. Also, what does a staff attorney get paid?
Thank you for all your help!

It varies by firm, but most likely you aren't partner track and will be paid less than an associate.

Thank you!

We have them, paid less, not partner track, supposed to be lower hour requirements but I don’t think it’s true in practice. So I’d confirm that aspect.

Thank you!

Many of these roles are nearly 100% focused on doc review/managing contract attorneys. Much lower pay, but not necessarily lower hours.

Currently working on a three person team in a larger GC group. I lateraled from a different group that did not pay attorneys on an attorney scale.

A recruiter reached out with a new role for 2-2.5x more than I currently make doing something similar. I love my company and the people I work with but the money isn’t there. Is it worth trying to get a counter to stay if I get the bigger offer?

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients. Second round of interviews with a comm lit boutique where I would be the only associate with 5 partners. Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.
