At a mid-size (55 attorneys) in the South. 3% non-elective for everyone (plan is to-heavy) and match 50% up to 6% of comp. Also our health insurance premiums haven’t gone up in the 12 years I’ve been there. And if you take the HDHP/HSA option, they put $3,000 into your HSA. Most times folks are gone by 6pm (though it’s been very busy this year), and maybe sometimes Saturday morning.

We can’t compete with BigLaw salaries, y’all, but benefits and QOL are outstanding. COL isn’t anywhere close to NY or Chicago, and I lived 15 minutes from work (20 on bad days). Drove to work on an avenue lined with old live oaks and vines, classic architecture, etc. And I actually like the folks I work with; they’re as good as any lawyer I ever worked with in Amlaw, but they don’t create emergencies where none exist - and apologize if they have to bother you on vacation.

It’s as close to nirvana as I’ve found at a law firm.

Similar firm - can’t compete with big law salaries although we get relatively close.

No egos and everyone brings in work.

No match -- biglaw (this is standard)

What’s the general guidance on the order to maximize retirement contributions for tax benefits for an normal individual and for a self employed/small business owner before moving to taxable accounts or alternate vehicles like cash value life policies?
I’ve seen for individual: match trad 401k->match roth 401k->max roth IRA->max trad IRA->max trad 401k->max roth 401k->max HSA
For self employed: max SEP IRA/solo 401k->max roth IRA->max trad IRA->max HSA

Of course situations differ but in general?

I was at the top of the class in law school and got the highest grade in lots of courses. Ran the law review, order of the coif, etc. But I haven’t felt “smart” since then - it has been several years as an associate now and I feel like I haven’t “gotten it” yet. Not sure if this is normal, or if the occasional passive aggressive comments from partners are building up, or if I am just lame. Anyone else feel like this?
