[quote=Anonymous]If you bill 220 (work 300) hours a month, you would generally have a six year shelf life if you wanted it. Your salary would grow from 160k to about 290k. If you billed 250 (worked 320) hours, at year ten you may be making between 350k and 500k. If you later make partner, you would start at around $700k but you take home would be less than when you made $500. In a few years, you may make closer to $900k. Rainmakers can make up to $5m/year. This is a generalization about actual big law. Obviously it varies and there are many stories to prove me wrong. This is not what mid law or small law firms pay, those are all over the board, although typically (not always) lower, sometimes much lower.[/quote]
