It's really true. I went from $20/hr 1099 shitlaw to $150k at a small firm with decent lifestyle in the span of 4.5 years. If you have the IQ you can maek it.

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.

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.

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.

You would, too, if you had my former job.

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.

getting a librarian job is absolutely CUTTHROAT. Masters is basically required for shitlibrary, and lol at making $50K. Same with used cars - you have any idea how many of those guys wash out?

Everybody thinks everybody else has an easy job

Lots of jobs are shitty. None but shitlaw potentially open you up to malpractice claims in the 7 figures coupled with clients who might just shoot you all for comp thats at used car salesman levels.

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.

JFC, a real estate agent in the NYC area could make that selling like 5 condos per year.

Describe the sort of retard who willingly continues to work 60 hours per week doing the worst white collar job imaginable to make $75k per year.

Nobody 5 years out who is still practicing is making under 100k at a firm. About half just stop practicing which is its own problem but you just arent going to find a real litigation associate with any real exprience who wont laugh in your face if your offer is under 100k.

NF associates cover motions from 930 to 1pm and then go home. 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.

CR and if they are making close to that they are seriously underpaid and stupid, or are staying at the firm due to having flexibility/seniority etc. so they can work while caring for young children - I know a few female attorneys in that sort of situation.

My associates make 150k and their job is writing vlookups all day. Maybe they run one regression a month for my monthly metrics. Mostly they just keep my 167,000 row spreadsheets healthy and non crashing.
