We don't have up or out, so there's huge variability; it also depends on if you're technical or non-technical.
On the fed side:
-Lead Associate: 5+ YOE, $120-250k
Senior Associate: 10+ YOE, $150-290k.
There are exceptions on the lower end for YOE, but most will be in those ranges.
If you're coming from a competitor, we can and usually do pay well, but starting salaries are all over the place.
I had two recently hired LAs matrixed onto my project last year. Both had similar backgrounds and profiles, but one was at ~$155k and the other at ~$190k.
Our comp isn't standardized at the firm level, so whether your hiring admin pyramid wants to bring you in at, say, $175k vs $225k is entirely up to them.
