$1M per month in Gold bullion delivered to my door in a wheelbarrow by an opera singer who announces its arrival by song. Plus a clown named Jim to entertain me.

A: Not even gonna venture until grades

B: 300K+ (although same goes for grades, I do hope to make it to this point in my career)

also...It only seems fair that if OP is asking us what we expect, and sense he is protected by interwebz anonymity, he tell us his family's firm numbers...I for one am curious at least.

[motiontodismiss]

Hoping: $160k+bonus/$325k+bonus
Expecting: $125k/$300k
Can live with: $100k/$200k plus low CoL

I'm allowed to have expectations as low as half my current expectations as I'll graduate with no debt and 5 digit savings.

Everyone ITT unless at HYSCCN or already with a firm job should have expectations of 50k with 125k mid career.

This is fact. I'm looking to have a job that I'm interested in after law school, and that's it.

Booooo!

But you are right this is the realistic option many people would get. Although I don't think you need T6 to have a chance to avoid this.

I mean, statistically at Penn I should have a 65% chance of 100k+ but still, I'm not "expecting" it. More like HOAPING for it.

It all depends on the market and how much better (or worse) the economy is several years down the road.

Also remember that your legal career is what you make of it. If you stay as an associate, your salary has a relatively low ceiling. If you become partner, you could rake in seven figures from even mid-sized firms if you bring in the right business. You can also crash and burn and make nothing. Oh, the joy of risk/reward.

As long as your dad is a V100 partner, I know that your dreamz will come TRUE!

I plan to enslave all you other unfortunate non-T6 grads, so I should be ok.

So you're going to give us all BIGLAW jobs?

I can't decide if I got a BIGLAW job or not. Does BIGLAW mean OMFGBigBuck$, does it mean prestige (i.e., Vault rankings), or is it a function of the firm's size?

Depends on the market I'd say. In general, when you go to a club:

a) Do you order bottle service?
b) Do you have modelz on your arm?

If so... you're not in biglaw because you had time to go to a club. But if you COULD do these things if only you could get out of the office then... BIGLAW!

No I am going to give you guys $40k to start with possibility to get up to $101k. That way I can meet my own expectations.

I did that without a college degree, this is a not a good indication.

Exam hypo: Isn't P just proving Veyron's point here? Can you see why?
