It’s too high for billables and too low for compensation. Seriously a rip off. Are they hiring slaves?
As a first year you should be starting at around 1800 hours. And around 80k for just over 2000 hours is too low. I get the firm is small but negotiate in the six figure range. I practice in ID and in general we are hurting for attorneys, so use that need to your benefit.
It’s a good question. At least where I practice salaries are all over the place, so attorneys are bouncing all over to get better deals. Many are going into plaintiff work, starting their own, etc. And with COVID, our practice never stopped and cases are getting pushed to trial more and more to help with the court back log. I think there’s a lot of burnout as a result.
I’m in California and do ID. Our billable are 1900. Dm me if you want a referral.
Look at it like this. Good paralegals are at least 60k. And paralegals save our butts more than you know. But they didn’t have to do law school or lose years of their lives studying for the bar. That extra work you did is worth way more than 20k a year.
Billables too high and salary too low
Where r u located ? My friend works at an ID form 1900 hours 112k NY! Try to renegotiate the salary. But it depends on your location as well.
This is INSANELY high. It should be no more than 1900.
That's a billable amount.
