Anonymous wrote:$250k. Attorney at a small firm. 1500 billable hour requirement. Sometimes wish I had stuck it out in big law when I see big law salaries and the culture seems to have shifted in favor of allowing work from home even at big firms. I originally left to be able to work from home.
Even if that's true (and at least for my current biglaw friends, they are all planning to be back in the office on at least a hybrid plan beginning in January), the billable requirements have not changed. My friends all consistently bill 2000+ hours as counsel/partners (and this in LA, not even NYC which is brutal). So yes, you could definitely make much more money but not for billing 1500 hours a year.
