I originated a matter with seven figures in billables. I suspect most firms would give a healthy origination bonus for that.

$700k bump in 1 year. Came as a junior partner. Combination of share value appreciation and more shares. You can do even better as a lateral partner or as a more senior partner (just through share value appreciation on more shares). This is why I tell associates: If you have any interest in being a partner, seriously don’t focus on associate compensation at all. Focus on the right firm fit. Associate compensation is nickels compared to the long game of finding the right fit and making partner (if that’s what you want to do, which it is totally reasonable not to chase that poisoned carrot).

What’s your total comp? Also, is this based on 2021 because that’s skewed.

Probably not a unique story in the past couple years as so many folks jumped from small to big law, but I’m proud of it.

I started at a small boutique in a secondary market, switched to a slightly larger firm in a large market (remote), and then jumped to Big Law. No real secret except being persistent in applying.

Prior to the first firm I was at $95k working in a non-attorney role in 2019.

Hey everyone,I graduated from university in summer 2021 and then moved to a more sales job. I am now going to start a masters degree in strategic marketing and would like to move to product marketing / branding / digital marketing? How can I make this move?

Can I ask for at least similar salary (base salary + bonuses) than my current job? When I look at some of the marketing salaries, it seems extremely low and would hope that my experience/masters would be considered.

Thank you!

I recently asked for a raise as looking up medical assistant and years of experience in my area and found that I am not at market value for my position and 12 years of experience. I have not asked for one before or ever had any HR issues, write ups, warnings, etc. HR came back stating no to a increase as I am at 108% already per their market value. Does this make sense to anyone?
