OP, I'm a JD. Is your JD relevant to your work? How many years experience before or after JD did you have. Ignore the trolls, they are just trying to be funny.

Relevant to work, one yr unrelated small firm experience prior

Might be able to jump to senior if it's relevant. I doubt with one year of unrelated work exp you could convince someone to make you a manager. That's my non-JD-educated realistic 2 cent opinion

Maybe comparable to MBA, 135? Depends on what u enter as well.

JD's don't really mean anything. I know a few consultants with them in consulting. They are all frustrated because they aren't using them at all.

I disagree with the $135K. Probably less and associate is right. Maybe $80-90K. If you had more experience, then Senior and $135K, but you don't. You still need to train from bottom up, and no matter how relevant your degree is, it's still not MBA. My JD is more relevant than MBA, and I think it was worthwhile to start from the bottom. You'll learn more, and be better supported by the team. At another firm I was at, even MBAs came in as associates.

That's totes what I paid $200K for 🤓

EY1, is that relevant to salary? I'm interested in the subject area I'm in now, and not interested in litigation. Also much better pay and benefits than small firm and much better work life balance than big firm. So, salary range numbers anyone?

Consultant 1, there are a lot of areas where JDs are relevant. Don't generalize. The degree is relevant to Regulatory, Forensics, M&A...

The ppl frustrated with not using them shouldn't be in consulting. I'm a consultant for a reason and not a practicing lawyer for a reason.

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales. This was a somewhat good move for me until I consider missing out on commission each month that was more than my salary. (£25k salary, over £2k per month commission)
How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?
