The base is equivalent to a big 4 base. Just like A&M it’s a formulaic model for bonuses based on billable revenue and sales efforts.

It generally works out that if you are close to 40 hours billable a week you’ll get a 100% bonus (paid quarterly so you get the $$$ faster than A&M). Then on top of that there is origination and management points.

Overall, the pay should be at least double the big four if you are working hard. If you sell and manage work then it goes way up from there.

Looking for a realistic view on VP utilization at Portage. What do median billed hours actually look like?

Trying to reconcile recruiter commentary (which implies strong utilization) with feedback I’ve heard suggesting deal flow can be uneven. Any insight on how consistent staffing is would be helpful.

How do you know if someone likes you in the beginning of dating? I met this guy online who I thought was cute and we went on a few dates. He always texted me right after the date and always initiates another date right after or within a day. He’s been sweet to me (ie when I was packing for a trip, he noticed there’s dirty dishes in the sink and he just started washing them for me) but he never texts in between dates and doesn’t really initiates much physical contact (he reciprocates when I do)

Hi all.

I have been on bench for almost 4 months now & have been getting automated mails asking me to get assigned to a project by searching one by myself, else necessary action might be taken.

And are there any chances of being straightaway fired based on these automated mails?

I would genuinely need an advise from someone who is aware of this kind of situation.

Thanks in advance

Currently at a super conservative defense firm. I do really well but keep getting the criticism that I tend to just do things on my own initiative. I’m just predisposed to being decisive and rather autonomous. Besides being a solo atty, where would this skillset be better suited? Plaintiffs work?
