I’m getting ready for my first review: what kind of raise did you get after your first year? My firm doesn’t have a lock-step increase, so I don’t know what to expect or what to ask for.

It’s a AM Law 200 firm, kind of a mid-west regional moving towards a national firm. First year pay is $125,000 (well below the typical “big law” salary) but hour expectations are lower too (1800)

I would think about $8k-$10k but I am not in that market so I don’t have anything to base that on.

The non lock step associates at my firm received between 2500-10k.

Hello! It seems this bowl is not very active but I'd like it to be. So here's my story: Born & raised in PR, moved to CA for undergrad & have been here since then. I graduated from law school in 2019, followed by a 2 yr bk clerkship. I did the evening program. I really enjoyed law school, in spite of the microaggressions, the late nights, & crazy competition. Love all things diversity in the law. Anyway, currently looking for a position in NYC/DC area. 🤗
