1) 2015
2) fed clerkship: 62k
3) I know some biglaw partners in NYC who make several million a year - but the richest lawyer I know is a personal injury guy who raked in $50 million on a case recently.

Re: Lawyers on here, how much do you make?
Graduated 2013. My salary history (approximately):
1st job: 40k (state government) - 2 years
2nd job: 60-65k (small firm) - 1 year
3rd job: 100k (NLJ 250 firm) - less than a year
4th job: 120k (federal government)
I feel extremely fortunate to have landed my current position. I’m also in a secondary market.

Re: Lawyers on here, how much do you make?
1) ~$225-250 all-in depending on equity comp and bonus
2) 2010 T14 Grad /2011 T3 LLM
3) $167.5k (NYC Market plus bonus at the time)
4) Tax (9-5 in-house)
5) Personally as in they know me? I know several biglaw partners who almost certainly make seven figures, as well as a small firm founder doing high-end trial work for oil companies who is in that range, but I wouldn't know exact comp. Have met? I've met a plaintiff's side trial lawyer who was probably worth high eight or low nine figures.
