Hi Folks,
What would be the sufficient monthly salary required for a single in Krakow? I can share my place of living with another colleague who is coming along with me. It would be helpful if you could also share the current visa processing time. My company has just initiated the process. #krakow #poland #hcl HCL Technologies

Does anyone have experience with Ben Glass’s “Great Legal Marketing” programs? https://greatlegalmarketing.com
I ordered a free “starter kit” from his company and received a decent-sized box with some books and audio CD’s. Haven’t listened to the CD’s yet, but the books aren’t bad, with plenty of practical advice.
Now he’s running a promotion where you can get two months of his basic-level course for just $19.95 to cover the cost of shipping. It seems that Ben is one of the better-regarded legal marketing “gurus” out there.

$60k salary with tired bonus structure on all billing over $100k. Made over $120k last year with bonuses. I’m a non-equity partner and have been practicing almost 4 years.
*Tiered
Second year. <15 attorneys in Nashville. $80k plus bonuses for hours (5% of salary if over 1200 billable hours, regardless of collections) and for collections (tiered % depending on amt over $180k). Got $5k raise this year
That’s the $80k
That’s a fairly generous compensation formula.
Live in Texas and know many small firm owners. Some start off paying 45-50k base salary with some kind of bonus structure. That bonus structure ranges from receiving 10% of each case settled or it could be a flat bonus based on the revenue tiers the firm hits each month.
$82k, 2 attorneys (including myself), one support staff member. No defined bonus structure. No billable hour requirements. Health insurance. Located in Sacramento area.
I make $125,000. Graduated 2015. DC.
40K, no bonuses/benefits. 1 yr atty. 5 attys including myself, 2 are partners. Defense firm.
$78k after 5 years in 6 attorney PI/Med-Mal plaintiff’s firm (started at $56k). No health benefits, but they were an option if I accepted a lower salary. Firm does 401k matching up to 3%, then matches half the contribution up to 6%. Occasionally there is a 25% of salary profit sharing contribution, but that has been inconsistent in my time there.
Bonuses are the big drawback for me. There is no structure, it is the managing partner’s decision how much you get. The cases I’ve been the primary attorney have often more than tripled my salary, and some years far exceeded that, but rarely does the bonus correlate. Last year I got my first 7 figure result, and my total fees were over a million easy, but the year-end bonus was about 2.5% my salary.
Additionally there’s no structure regarding compensation for bringing in work - most of our work is referred from outside or past clients anyway. Doesn’t bother me, as I don’t have any cases I’ve “brought in,” but it makes me wonder where all the money goes on my cases.
Was in similar camp, raking in the dough for the partners and bonus structure was completely subjective. Brought it up in a meeting with them and subsequently was pariah’d for a few months - apparently they didn’t want to incentivize their people or care about long term of firm. If that is their M.O. so be it, they will kill every golden goose swindled into their pond 😂
