First year biglaw “attorneys” (most of them aren’t even admitted yet) have higher salaries than people who’ve been public defenders for literally 40 years.

[Abby Finkelman @Knope4America]

Biglaw attorneys who graduated the same year as I did make more in bonus than I do in salary

[Paul Kim @writeclimbrun]

for no particular reason, but also because I'm thinking about it, here's the biglaw salary scale for last year. cool way to make half a million dollars a year.

[Abby Finkelman @Knope4America]

I don’t get a bonus, obviously

5/5⭐️
