What is the least amount of money you’d accept in litigation for a position that requires 1900 billable /year? I’m currently a 2 year at 135k before bonus.

$135k for 1900 as a second year is pretty normal in midlaw but still underpaid. I’d try to go to a bigger firm that pays more as you get into midlevel. But in any event, you should try to be at 1/3 of your collections.

For instance, As a 4th year in midlaw I made $170k and that came out to 1/3 almost on the dot, but I ended up getting a massive pay bump going in house that year (advantage of coming from midlaw).

Don’t be afraid to lateral up.

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?
