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

Looking for some advice; I've been a paralegal for about 5 years now, and the past year or so has been hard. One firm closed, which dropped me in another firm which was never good for me, and then into another with a culture that was really unhealthy to me. My resume shows a few short stays at firms, and now I'm looking at moving after six months due to issues that turned over the entire paralegal team so far except for me. How do I show employers I'm a dedicated worker after a difficult year?
