Heavily dependent on what the person is doing. M&A tax llms start at 140 or so in NY and can go to 300+ at the SM level (perhaps pushing 400 inclusive of bonus). A&M would push a senior director up close to 500. Partners make whatever the partner scale says.

International makes about 15-20% less.

I have no idea what the support in house attorneys make.

JDs in standard compliance don’t make a ton more than any other tax person.

Unless you make partner at top 50 firm, you make more money in Big 4. Even then, I imagine now all partners in big law will make more

160-220

Gave my 2-week notice and Partner has asked me stay an extra 3 days to wrap up a project that I know will be a very long 3 days... I don’t really want to do it but also am afraid of burning bridge. I said yes to the Partner but now kind of regret it. This job has made me sacrifice my health and I don’t want to work those extra 3 days. I wonder what’s the best way to tell them.
