Don't "senior" people have years of experience?
On the other hand I was looking for typical first year salaries for lawyers and found this:https://www.usnews.com/education/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/paying/articles/2018-07-26/what-type-of-salary-you-can-expect-with-your-law-degree
$190,000 per year plus signing bonus for a new graduate from a top law school? Yikes!
I’ve heard that legal work doesn’t pay as well these days. That it is a ponzi scheme.
the “researchers” and form fillers are being automated or outsourced to India. There are documents the plug in all of the details now.
The lower ranks of the organization that people used to take to move up in a law firm are shrinking. The empty promise is get a law degree and “get your name on the door”, many won’t get there.
