Very low. I would lateral ASAP. SF has a strong boutique culture where you could make 80-120k more a year and work 30 hours less a week

Thank you!! I was thinking 150?

I really like what I do I just don’t get paid enough haha

No thank you so much! This is very helpful

80 hour weeks? I work like 60 hour weeks in biglaw. Lateral asap.

Thank you! Yeah it’s gnarlyyyy. It ebbs and flows. Sometimes 60 hours. The problem is they are so generous with bonuses it’s hard to gauge. I’m thinking I counter to 150?

What’s your bonus?

And credentials (law school and class ranking matter when you lateral in your first 3 years)
