it is great. i bill 1800 a year and my firm has a relatively short partnership track. also, partnership is actually obtainable. that being said, it still is private practice, meaning there are shitty elements common to all law firms (billing, demanding clients, etc.).

you are still making middle class income at a dreadful office job.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2116324&forum_id=2#22062445)

if you want to criticize me, focus on my net worth.

my job is actually not that dreadful. there really isn't a better position for a 28 year old lawyer who is kind of lazy and lacks entrepreneurial drive.

your household income is still sub 1%, so you are def middle class.

anyone who is not on track to be stuck in an office job for the rest of their life is in a better position breh.

also, i'm with you brother in that office jobs suck. however, like i said, this is the only job for me to amass a large amount of money in a low-risk fashion. since my living expenses are low, i save about 130k per year. my goal is to do this shit for 5-7 more years and then do something 180 related to my hobby.

AND, a psychiatrist salary peaks at $250 or so. This 28 year's salary can only go up.

You're lucky to work the hours you do at your boutique . . . I'm not sure how you'd be able to tell the difference between them though.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2116324&forum_id=2#22066237)

i honestly think that the partners don't really care about paying more than the market because there are so few associates. paying us an extra 15-20k only costs the firm an extra 150k, which is like 10k per partner per year.

the oddest part is that i had no idea we paid more than the market until i recently saw the market for 2nd and 3rd years. my firm starts at 160k and doesn't advertise the fact that we're above-market paying in later years.

boutiques all have quirky recruiting practices. i'm sure we're different in how we recruit from bartlett or kellogg, i'm just not sure how.
