I would be asking for a 9.7% pay increase.

8% for inflation, 1% for the kicks, and .7% because it’s oddly specific which is intimidating when you don’t want to lose a good, experienced paralegal

I would ask for no less than 8% to match inflation.

Ask for 85k see what happens, you’re worth it

The short answer is the firm should increase your pay as much as they can. I would expect about 8-10% per year if you are good. Remember firms want to increase your pay because they can also proportionally increase your billable rate which in turn means more profit for them.

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions.

Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?

Any advice on how to deal with a partner/boss who is shifting all responsibility to me with zero guidance, no mentoring, and an unwillingness to discuss the issues?

There are an increasing number of passive aggressive comments from the partner who expects to be completely hands off once the case lands on my desk. Wants me to figure it all out despite cases being from different areas of law.

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law.

Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
