When I was a paralegal it was my first year working in a professional office. I had 15 an hour starting and ended with 16.50 in the second year I was there. Salary was around 28,800 plus quarterly bonuses the first year and 31,680 the second year. I also paid a portion of the health insurance. Very very low salary. Criminal defense firm.

Anyone here from Canada? The compensation packages are obviously different. My title is Team Lead, litigation support (eDiscovery) and Sr Paralegal. 12 years specific experience plus 12 more years as Legal Assistant in Toronto, ON and Calgary, AB
$93k +OT, 100% benefits paid, matching RRSP contributions. 5 weeks vacation plus 5 personal days, 5 sick days. Hybrid work schedule 3 in office, 2 home, flex hours.

I did some eDiscovery for about 2 years hated it!! Crappy old Summation!
That sounds low for Toronto. I am from Montreal but I know people in the same spot making 20-25k more. Matching RRSP. 100% benefits for employees (you pay an extra for family) 4 weeks vacation, unlimited sick days, in office 1/week

Update (I’m Paralegal 6): I put my resume out there after this post and accepted a new position with a $4000 increase in salary. I don’t feel like it’s a lot, but it was definitely out of my comfort zone to negotiate for more based on my worth, and I feel like going forward I’ll be less afraid to demand more. Thanks!

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?

I feel like the benefits are great but I’d rather make more now. I am a previous LEO for 4 years who switched to paralegal so I have my leo retirement.
