Hello! What does everyone get as far as benefits/perks/jncentives go? I’m in a small firm (4 employees total), I’ve been there for 4 years but I have 6 years experience. We get 50% paid health insurance, 3% match 401k, and an end of year bonus which is one week of pay (comes to less than $1,000 for me). TIA!!

Until last year I was at a large firm. Generous salary ($120k+), firm paid 75% of healthcare costs, 8-10-% profit sharing/401k distribution each year, and a $8-12k bonus annually.

I’ve since moved in-house at a private equity firm. Salary is $145k+; 20% bonus with 4-5% pay increase each year, firm pays 50% of healthcare, firm matches up to 4% of your salary for 401k and a $8-10k profit sharing distraction.

Growing firm with about 500 employees. Been here for almost 3 months and I have 3 and a half yrs experience. We have health insurance, dental, vision and mental health counseling (free). Also have teledoc for free. 401k after 1 year being with firm at 3% match. We have incentives based on how many mediations we schedule, Keeping our task list down and how many cases we settled. We get one floating holiday a year along with the regular federal holidays. We can also get pto as an incentive separate from the 10 days we already get. STD and LTD are 100% paid for by firm. Free parking. I think that’s it.

I’m in house at a start up. Only paralegal in the company. 100% of health insurance premium paid on the HDHP plan. 5% 401k match, immediately vesting. No bonus. Option grants in the company. Completely flexible wfh - I only come in when I’m needed for a specific purpose.

Downside for me is crappy mat leave - only 1 month paid + 6 weeks disability. My last firm had 6 months.

Large firm, I'm not sure what the health insurance contribution is, since I'm on my husband's because his company fully covers it. I get 1% 401k match and annual bonus between $1000 to $1500.

Work in house (been here for a year, 6 years of experience total) 105k base. 10-15k bonus and 5-10k long term stocks. 5-10% raises. 401k match up to 15k a year. 5k tuition reimbursement a year. 10 dollar benefit credit a paycheck. Health insurance varies as people can pick kaiser, or blue shield. If picking blue shield it is 100% covered. ESPP plans.

Additional Posts in Paralegals

Paralegals: My firm is looking for a paralegal, and I see the job posting advertising the salary as $65-$75k, with benefits. Is this a good salary for a paralegal (Greater LA area)? I’m not the decision maker, but it’s been a few weeks with very few applicants. I’m curious if there’s something hurting the firm in its search.

Fried Frank reached out to me about an open senior real estate paralegal position they have in NY, and at first I wasn’t looking to move from my current firm, but then we talked salary (a nearly 50% raise) and now I’m willing to listen a little bit more. What are people’s thoughts on Fried Franks Real Estate team in NY?
