Law pay is such a huge spectrum tho. Score well on the LSAT, go to a top school, graduate high in your class could pay off big time. My father in law in the managing partner of a huge law firm and said he associates start at $180K. In HCOL cities some start higher. But to be fair the kids who get those jobs are usually at the top of their class or really well connected. I have another friend whose dad is an attorney and has declared bankruptcy twice and struggles a lot financially. So your individual circumstance is really relevant. Could pay off big time but also could end up being comparable
For sure. But here’s the thing. I worked 2 busy seasons jan - June 30 and had some quarters where I worked multiple weeks at 70 hours. All for $55.5K (Dallas). Gotta think $180K will motivate me to do that for a bit longer
I’ve thought about doing the same bc I hate accounting but I don’t want to go into 6 figures of debt to work more for comparable pay.
PWC 2 if you go to a T14, graduate at the top of your class, get a Big Law offer, and are willing to live in the Northeast or Cali, yes. That is a very small fraction of law school graduates though. Most people at good schools come out making $80-90K, and mediocre schools make $50-60K or are unemployed.
As a JD- Concur with what others have shared. If you’re at a top school there is an opportunity to make a lot of money, but otherwise it’s a huge spectrum and often very competitive. There are many different things you can do with a law degree, but I think most non-lawyers are very poorly informed about what these options are.
Strongly suggest reaching out to people on LinkedIn and setting up calls to learn more about different opportunities after you pass the bar. You’ll get a better idea whether it makes sense from the perspective of a change from PA. I say this because likely you’ll get advice that the best opportunities will be something related to tax or accounting, which as a lawyer working in tax sounds great to me, but sounds like you may want a change.
If you are looking for a more dramatic change MBA may be a better fit.
