Data for middle-of-the-road income after 5 years?
Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2013 5:41 pm
I can find a lot of information detailing how much a given law class will be expected to make after 5 years ($40-65k), such as the class of 2011.
However, it's more difficult to find income data for 5 years experience on, say, the class of 2006, or just in general what that 40-65k range will be making after five years. Does anyone know where I could do this?
Edit: http://www.nalp.org/sept2010pubintsal provides some data for "firms of 50 or fewer lawyers", but I don't know how accurate this data is. The average increase over five years, regardless of starting, was by $17,000. Does this mean that someone who makes $60k starting can expect to make ~$77k in five years? Or is this also inaccurate?
