Date: March 20th, 2018 1:42 PM Author: Sapphire temple Very, very true.
I know plenty who make in the 50s. I made 60. I see postings every day on Indeed where the pay is in the 50s. And I know multiple solos who had to quit because they couldn’t make any money & it was too stressful. Some got into drugs or booze, or got caught kiting money from their clients’ accounts, & ended up getting their licenses suspended.
Sad thing is that the general public has no idea. They think lawyer is a prestigious profession & that all attorneys rake in hundreds of thousands per year. |

Date: March 20th, 2018 1:54 PM Author: Flesh affirmative action I absolutely hate being a lawyer. I would never do this for less than something like $175k a year at the minimum.
Why would anyone stay in this miserable shit profession to make $50k? JFC, you could become a chill librarian and make more. You could sell used cars and make more and not be stressed. |

Date: March 20th, 2018 2:21 PM Author: Sapphire temple That’s exactly why I quit. It’s simply a horrid profession, & I despise it. Makes no sense to put yourself through that kind of stress & hours for such shit compensation.
Of course, now I can’t find another job because hiring committees in non-law careers can’t fathom why a lawyer would quit the profession. |

I just couldn’t take It anymore & was breaking down mentally.
People drop like flies there. It’s just a mill & is constantly having to hire new employees because everyone quits. Several new hires just on my small team quit in their first week. |

|
Date: March 20th, 2018 2:28 PM Author: Beta coldplay fan The cost of living is high and pretty much requires a spouse who makes at least as much to have a decent life. If I had to guess I'd say 75-85K is pretty standard for semi-experienced shitlawyers. Not sure on average hours, but I'd guess most are working 45-60 hours per week. I'm not counting no-fault or foreclosure in this, that seems like a different world and I assume their lives suck shit. |

The motions are cut and paste and done by paralegals and there is no client facetime at the associate level. The 4 hour work day is partly why their comp is pure shit.
