ID associates who are near the partner-level experience tier (5-10 YOE): what’s your salary, bonus, billable hours (required and actually billed), and cost of living in your area? I’m talking about low tier ID, not coverage or anything like that. Stuff like slip and fall tort defense.

5 YOE. Salary is $105,000/year in a HCOL city (South Florida) for billing almost 2200 hours/year.

Could be worse, but 😑.

$134,500 5 years billing 2500/year at Wicker Smith

I was at midsize ID in HCOL. 8 years experience, 4.5 years at the firm, about to be made partner (non-equity), making $158,500. I left a couple months ago and make 80% more doing labor and employment with no experience (just litigation exp.). Lateral market is hot right now in L&E.

Can confirm. Currently in midlaw, regional powerhouse firm doing L&E. Lateraled first from 1 year of ID in a tiny shop, to large ID firm, but transitioned to L&E. Then Lateraled again to my current spot making significantly more (no ID work). I'm getting emails/calls daily from recruiters for other L&E openings.

Plus it's a way more interesting/complex practice than typical ID.
