Secondary Market Midlaw Model Q
For those firms that pay 80kish and hire very few people a year (2-10), is the model similar to biglaw as in you get pushed out after a few years?

It depends on the firm, but often not, attrition rates tend to be much lower and a higher percentage of associates make partner. Look at how many associates the firm has versus how many partners they have, and it should tell you something about attrition.

This. The only real downside (besides lower pay) is worse exit options if you happen to decide you don't like the firm/law altogether.badaboom61 wrote:It depends on the firm, but often not, attrition rates tend to be much lower and a higher percentage of associates make partner.

Gotta get more specific my friend. If you want to, PM me. But your question as phrased is almost impossible to answer.Anonymous User wrote:For those firms that pay 80kish and hire very few people a year (2-10), is the model similar to biglaw as in you get pushed out after a few years?

Re: Secondary Market Midlaw Model Q
Those firms tend to make post-SA offers with the idea in mind that you will stay there for your career and become a partner (I was an SA at one of them). However, to know about a specific firm for sure, you would have to ask.Anonymous User wrote:Think like a Harter Secreast/Hodgson upstate NYanon168 wrote:Gotta get more specific my friend.

Re: Secondary Market Midlaw Model Q
So it sounds extremely difficult to get a job at those firms.

Re: Secondary Market Midlaw Model Q
It really varies by firm. In one market I know of, there's at least one local mid-law firm I can think of that pays around 105, which is nearly what the satellites of the Vault-ranked firms pay in the same market.dreakol wrote:80k seems high for secondary mid-law but 180
I know another firm that's nearly as respected in a similar market that starts its associates at 65.
