To give a decent answer we’d need to know: 1) practice area(s); 2) firm size/resources; 3) location; and 4) hourly rate.

It’s going to vary pretty wildly if we solely judge on YOE

I’m also curious: 5th year - 1) GL 2) Midsize 3) Orange County, CA and 4) $220 with 2200 billables

Do you really think you can place all 2-3 year associates across the country and across all practice areas into one salary range? Come on, man. You need to provide a lot more information.

I am a personal injury attorney making 79k with ability to keep 40% of anything I settle, bonuses for originating work for the firm.

I work in a firm that is known for litigation defense. I’ve been developing my own plaintiffs practice as well.

It seems like the senior partners already have their “go to” associate for things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can increase my workload? I reach out for work pretty much weekly.
