$230k base salary, plus 3-5% on attorney fees. I made $350k total last year. Firm size is like 6-7 attorneys and we are in a HCOL area.

That sounds like a great gig, honestly. I’m Class of ‘19 in a HCOL. I was making 150k base as a 3rd year at a similar-size L&E firm that did both P & D. Loved Plaintiff’s work, but switched to defense b/c the pay was (supposedly) better. Currently looking at 235k base at a Big 4 firm & your 3-5% on fees beats my billable bonus. If I could make that doing Plaintiff’s work & not stressing over billables, I’d take it in a heartbeat. What’s it like living the dream? 😂

At this point, I’m looking forward to telling opposing counsel in this one case that I’m leaving my firm more than telling my firm. Between the ridiculous theory of the case, the truly obnoxious discovery requests, and the self-righteous attitude, I can’t wait to never talk to this guy again.

Hi all, I’m in the north east metro area and due to the current RE market we decided to look into PA specifically Lancaster. Anyone in this market and have any thoughts on where it’s headed?

The last owner bought for 35k like 15 years ago 😩 but hoping buying and holding for a few years will give a equal or greater returns over the long run.
