I am struggling to get candidates for an attorney position in my firm. It is a hearing attorney position (administrative law) in upstate NY. What do I need in the ad to make it more desirable?

Make sure the comp is high and posted, eliminate billable hours requirements and weekend working and make sure this is in the ad, offer optional pro bono activities and training and make sure that’s communicated in the ad… add in some remote working flexibility if at least 3 days a week and you might get somewhere. Also make sure you give them an assistant or an intern. Too many upstate firms have 10 associates sharing an assistant (meaning have to do lots of non billable work but still have relatively high billable requirements)

I was upstate Ny before I went downstate and left a few months ago because the comp and remote flexibility weren’t there. I stayed longer than I would’ve otherwise because they let me do lots of pro bono and didn’t enforce billable hours requirements and let me generate business in areas I was interested in, and when I generated business, they let me flat fee it because I didn’t enjoy tracking billable hours

Also upstate trades on relationships and reputation of the partners more than downstate. Upstate is more insular than downstate. There were plenty of firms I refused to work for because I’d worked with the partners on cases before and knew they weren’t easy to get along with, and I knew they would be a nightmare to work with..: so when one of the firm’s partners approached me and asked me if I’d come work at the firm (one of the nice partners) I said no. I didn’t feel comfortable being honest that while the comp was okay not offering any remote flexibility and having people who everyone in town knew were difficult to work was a no-go for me

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?
