What would you choose? Both full remote other than court. Around $200k total comp for an insurance company (no billing) doing insurance defense (working 30ish hours a week), or around $240k doing plaintiff-side PI, working around 45 hours a week.

Plaintiff side 100%; depending on your comp structure, you can make well over 240k if you’re bringing in cases.

I’d do the 240, but that’s because I’m trying to learn and grow. If you want to chill the insurance company is a no brainer.

It should be noted the plaintiff firm technically has no ceiling, but the comp listed is the “average”.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation.

The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
