[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also get paid about 180k as a fed and when I’m not in litigation, it’s honestly really chill. I get paid to think, talk things out with my team to reach a sound strategy with documents and data, and no true deliverables in the traditional sense. we have deadlines but as a team we keep each other accountable with short term turnarounds to keep things moving. 40 hours is plenty, some weeks I don’t work that much. I love the flexibility too

Now, I pay for it when we get to litigation. Then WLB goes out the window and I become relatively underpaid for that amount of effort [/quote]

I was a PP, and this is my job too. Soooo much better than private practice.

I billed out at 1500/hr at my old firm. I am paid probably around 210,000 with salary+benefits as a fed. I earn that much in the market after 140 hours. Which is only about an hour of work a day. I work more than that (though certainly not overworked).

Thats how I justify that I'm not just a huge rip-off to the taxpayer. Its actually a deal! You would pay more for my time if you contracted it out.

Also, to the teachers, I think you should all be paid 200k+. Hard job, and probably the most important job in our society. We should reward it and incentivize doing it. [/quote]
