LA office of East Coast firm that is AmLaw 100, but not paying market. Minimum billable hours are 1800, but really expected billable hours are at least 1900, plus another big chunk of hours for BD and nonbillable but creditable hours. Base salary is $400,000. A discretionary bonus possible but only if the billable hours are substantially over 1800. Also, there is potential comp for originations and managing matters.

Good bowl! Midwest. Amlaw 100. 230. No book of business. True expectation 1950. Not sure about bonus but expect salary to be raised bc of associate raises.

SF Amlaw100 firm on Cravath scale, and my base is $425k with a 1950 expectation. I’m not on track to hit hours, so bonus may be 0, but is otherwise discretionary.

Expecting to make counsel soon. Pay isn’t much more than top of the senior associate scale, with about a $10k bump each year. Some counsel in my practice area make near or at 7 figs, however. Just depends on firm and what you can negotiate.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
