It's Get a Job Tuesday

With the down economy and the amount of people emailing us for work, WWL will be posting job openings from time to time. We won't post every job that comes across Craigslist, but will allow employers to send us their job opening announcements if they include salary, benefits and billable hours requirements (if a billable firm). With that preamble, here's our first offering sent in by our old friend Mr. Ross:

    $90k for 3-6 years? Is that typical or low?

    If that's typical, it's a sad tale.

    9:32 AM and 9:43 AM both pose a fair question. The answer is that this position is for a high volume job. Unlike commercial attorneys the salary range for Las Vegas attorneys in high volume practice areas such as construction defect, insurance defense and the like has historically been benchmarked to what Clark County government pays it's attorneys. This position is in fact right in the middle of the journey level pay range with the county. The difference of course is that county attorneys don't have nearly the same level of bonus opportunity.

    I wouldn't rely on the alleged bonus. A lot of firms "offer" these bonuses, but when the criteria is met, they renege.

    Before you buy into an alleged bonus system, ask if it's pre-cuts and if it depends on collectables instead of billables. If it is collectables, make sure that the clients pay their bills within 90 days of submission, or you can just pretty much write off that time (although the firm will still count it as an asset).
