I am on bench from 1 nov 2022. I am PA.
How do you measure bench strength?
If you are home buying in Texas, Colorado, or Georgia, consider Homeward- they make all cash offers and buy the house for you. Then you rent from them until you can buy it back from them with a mortgage or after selling your current home. I worked with them last year when making offer in Austin, Texas. They are very easy to work with and I had my offer accepted. Whether the fees and risks are worth it is a personal calculation, but it makes your offer competitive in an insane market.

Am Law 200 - Midwest city, $180,000 3rd year (but market in my are is more like $165,000).
Midsize 2015 $145k. We didn’t do increases in 2020 because of COVID. Bonuses based on hours after 1900. Praying for a double bump this year but if not... we shall see.
Class of 2018. Midsize insurance defense. 1800-but-really-2000 hours. 145k plus hour-related bonus. Hoping for but not counting on (sigh) a raise.

New York midsize is where I am. Sorry should have mentioned this! So average salary is 150K for us. Regional US firm
What city?
Midsized C/O 2020, insurance defense $80k with impossible bonus structure for first years. No billable minimum but 6-8 daily is the goal.
What state?
Midsize, class of 2017, low cost of living city, $145k. Tbh, though, I think my firm's pay is below its peers' comp in the same city.
That sounds very good for a low cost city. I'm in Seattle making 145k with more experience.
