Salary check (Plaintiffs PI, CA)

First year: 100k + 10k gross bonus + 25k net profit sharing bonus (with 6y vesting requirement).
Second year: 120k + 35k gross bonus + 35k net profit sharing bonus (with 6y vesting requirement) Incoming third year salary raised only to 124k for 2023. Does not even beat inflation. But decent bonus at the end of 2022. What to Think of this? What about compensation overall?

Explain the vesting requirement?

Employees receive credit for each year worked at the firm. Contributions are made on a separate account. If employee terminates employment prior to six years of employment, employee is only able to receive a portion of account based on vested %:
Less than 2y - 0%; 2y - 20%; 3y - 40%; 4y - 60%; 5y - 80%; 6y - 100%

So in your example, you’ll get the full $25K “earned” in year 1 at the end of year 7, the full $35K earned in years 2 at the end of year 8, etc … That’s both insane and genius (from the law firm’s perspective). Having said that $155K for a second year in PI isn’t bad at all. If you want to explore your options feel free to DM me. I run a large PI firm in SoCal.

It’s smart from a law firm perspective and with a decent base and bonus, reasonably fair.

over compensation is actually pretty solid. it’s not crazy money but plaintiff PI notoriously starts lower than most, with unlimited upside potential. i make about the same in NJ

Pretty solid starting base for a PI firm; I’ve seen starting salaries in SoCal generally ranging from 55-75k base, so 100k is pretty damn good.

Do you have a separate agreement for business you bring in, or does it get counted towards your overall net profit sharing?

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies. If I even “like” a post then I worry that my peers and managers see what I like and suddenly I need inclusivity training. What a load of shit! You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!

Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.

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.

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??
