What do you think is a reasonable billable expectation for a first year associate? 10 months in and expected to also market, which I’ve done with success.

Obviously there’s room for improvement and billing is a learned skill, but right now I am making significantly below market rate and feel like I can’t ask for a raise because I’m not meeting expectations.

Not sharing the current expectation here (at least not yet) because the resounding answer to this question seems to be “LOL, not that”.

1800-1950. I’ve seen some places expect 2100 for an 80k salary and that’s a no.

That’s tough. You’re making 58k salary? I had trouble realizing that people were making more money than me and that resentment ended up staying with me until I left my old firm. 2400 is really high
