Whats caseload? Average settlement? Pre-litigation or Litigation or both?

I would want higher base, premises cases are difficult, preservation letters are key, notice of defect is huge issue

What’s the commission on origination?

That’s pretty good, depending on how many cases you’re settling/getting verdicts on each month. You’ll definitely want to put a lot of time into bringing in cases; that’s where all your money will be.

Does anyone have a lead on / advice on finding PM positions over $220k/yr? It seems like most positions I’m targeting are closer to $150k and I’m currently at $190+. I’m not sure I qualify for big tech Director level (would be open to and great for startup Director Level)…it seems I’m a great fit for many Sales Ops / GTM PM roles but most I’m finding promote the ~$200k+ people internally and the job reqs are ~IC 4/5.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
