Satisfaction
• “I have with few exceptions, gotten substantive research and motion drafting assignments.”
• “The work is good, but I believe I'm significantly underpaid.”
• “The job is great. Associates receive significant responsibility. Workload is generally manageable. However, salaries are geographically depressed—so, work to pay ratio is not what it is on coasts.”
• “I enjoy the partners and associates I work for and with, and enjoy the mix of litigation case teams, both small and large, that I am part of.”
