I see biglaw raising the salaries. I’m in midsize regional firm payed $163K class of 2014. We’re currently trying to convince the management to increase pay. It would be helpful to know how much are my peers getting at midsize, we know biglaw. Billing requirement is 1900. Good work life balance and kind people but still $$$ hella low.

Am law 200, Midwest, class of 2017, 1850 billable, $155k.

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.
