Associate Salaries: What Am I Worth?
Philadelphia law firm salaries are once again in the news. Repeating ­practices from a decade ago, the largest firms in New York raised ­first-year ­starting ­salaries from $160,000 to $180,000. Large Philadelphia firms are now feeling the pressure, demonstrated by Dechert's decision to match the raises initiated by white-shoe Wall Street firm Cravath, Swaine & Moore. The publicity generated by the astronomically high salaries suggests to outsiders that the legal profession continues to be an exceedingly well-paying career option. It also creates an expectation that large law firm jobs paying salaries of $180,000 are the norm. To the contrary, the vast majority of lawyers, both experienced and fresh out of law school, will not work for law firms ­paying $180,000 to first-year associates. They will instead work at small and medium-sized law firms, government agencies, and in the nonprofit sector.
