How much money are we talking about? 🤨 i am not in law so just curious.

Google Zsa law salary.

At big firms, its 130k as a first year associate, ~25k raises per year after that up to partnership around year 6, potential bonuses from 5-30% depending on firm. Partnership income is more of a black box and depends on a lot of factors (practice area, clients, hours) Associate pay enough to feel comfortable but not wealthy. I curse myself every day for not jumping to the US (nearly triple salary for all in compensation) when I may have been able to and now the market is down for the foreseeable future.

Hours suck but not as bad as others make it seem. Mind, I don't have kids and my firm is fairly reasonable.

I see no reason why you still can’t jump ship if you’re in a good enough firm in a relevant practice area. The way I see it is the last couple years were so easy that even associates in less reputable firms were able to jump ship.

Barring another Great Recession, there’ll always be demand for work, and associate attrition is still very high.

It's really not a lot of money but bonuses are nicer than working in tech. IB and tech sales salaries are wayyyy better.

I lateraled from a small firm to regional big law last year. I was told that my offer was commensurate with class year (5th year). The firm recently increased first year salary, with a 5% increase for all other attorneys. My original salary was equal to the new first year salary. The difference between my new salary and a first year is now $10k. I think it is fairly obvious that the hiring partner was not truthful with me. How would you address this? Is another lateral move my only option?

Anyone struggling with imposter syndrome? When I worked for a very well known Fortune500 tech company I couldn't help but feel major imposter syndrome.

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either. Then you get an interview and they tell you it’s remote/hybrid(1-2-3days, take your pick)/on-site. So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?
