Curious to know if anyone has made the jump from associate to the knowledge management team. Specifically, did you bring it up to your firm or did they reach out? What is the pay for a KM position in v25 firms? Hours? TIA!

I interviewed, but didn't get it, at my old V5. Pay was 180ish plus matching 401K, bonus of 20% and a whole bunch of vacation days. can't speak to hours as I didn't get the job. The person they hired was definitely a better associate than me, though.

Can anyone describe this position more fully? I assume it's more substantive than e-discovery?

FWIW at latham KM means non-billable legal research that can benefit attorney development (i.e., developing presentations on some practice area to share or a practice guide on some obscure area of law). Very different than e-discovery. If attorneys do this sort of work it counts toward yearly billable hours tho.

This is big. At my v30 with minimum hours req it does not, and it sucks.
