Date: December 16th, 2017 8:44 AM Author: harsh exhilarant institution i copped breakfast at a v60ish firm in DC. Equity (but only 10% of my comp will be equity).
best i can tell, i will be making about 300k next year - we don't pay lockstep (but do pay market to first years; raises after that are "based on merit," i.e., way below lockstep).
i'll be lucky to break even next year with what i'm making now, actually. my buy in probably isn't too bad but will be a few hundred. i have to purchase $2m in life insurance and a LTD policy. i have to contribute 13.5% of my comp to a keogh plan (which is 180). i also am on the hook for 100% of my employment taxes, and have to file like 15 state tax returns.
did they bring you into a partner meeting after it became official? that's what they did with me.

Date: December 16th, 2017 8:47 AM Author: shivering mad-dog skullcap Jesus. How does a V60 in DC still set away with that? Ten years ago most DC firms didn’t pay NY market but I thought that changed. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3829503&forum_id=2#34933863) |
|
Date: December 16th, 2017 8:52 AM Author: harsh exhilarant institution oh, i'm fairly sure we don't pay lockstep in NY either.
i was in midlaw before this and was surprised because i thought all biglaw firms in major cities paid lockstep, but if you look at vault it looks like there are a bunch that don't. DLA piper is, what, v30-40? and they claim raises are based on merit (which, again, means the raises blow). |

|
Date: December 16th, 2017 8:54 AM Author: harsh exhilarant institution i think a whole lot of the firms paying lockstep have no business doing so, and service partners are probably fucked as a result. the rainmakers are making bank and associate salaries are high.

i started out in legit shitlaw (doing ID and paid as an independent contractor) but luckily wound up in another practice area quickly and worked my way up to midlaw then biglaw, so i'm not complaining. $300k is a bunch of money any way you cut it. |

greenberg does appear to be a peer firm to mine, though, in that they don't pay lockstep and there is probably serious salary compression for seniors.
