My law firm bills clients $1,570 per hour for the work I do, and I only get paid $350 of that. The rest goes to the partners, most of whom are rich Boomers who don't even need that money. Remind me again why communism is supposedly 'bad'?

Start your own private practice then

>>508531509 (OP)
Lmfao you could bill that in the shittiest rural part of a midwestern state.
Either find a boutique firm or fuck off and start your own practice

>>508531509 (OP)
accumulate seniority and become a partner
quit fucking whining

Nothing stops you from moving to a communist country.

>>508531718
I can't. All our clients are corporations. I don't have a 'book of business.' I haven't done work for an individual human being in a long time, and that's kind of depressing. I don't think Megacorp #74 is going to jump ship to my one-man firm.

>>508532176
Then the missing $1,220/hour is for the law firm's intangible reputation and potential to tap vast resources if needed.
Buck up, and stop believing you are the only thing of value in your office.

Give me your $350

>>508531509 (OP)
Why aren't you a partner then? What's holding you back? Try bringing in some business, maybe you'll get a little appreciation. You're working fir someone else and you expect to get rich? That's not the way things work. Go be a lawyer in in China if you think communism is so great.

You get paid $350/hour to be a kike?

What the fuck...

I make $350 per BILLABLE hour after adjustments and final client payment, which is quite a bit different from hours worked.

>>508531509 (OP)
You get $350 an hour?
If its so bad. Start your own firm and bill $2k.

>>508535069
Alright, so what does it come out to for your on average?

>>508535249
If I hit my billables target I can make around $28,000 per month, which might sound substantial, but remember, I'm an an expensive city (since that's where the firm is located), I have a shitload of student debt, I have other family members to help out, and the Boomer partners are allegedly raking in $10+ million per year while working half-days 2 or 3 days per week.

I use to think law was get rich quick and i guess it kind of is but fuck 2200 billing hours even for 200k

>>508532176
You have your answer then faggot.

>>508532176
Then bide your time and kiss boomer cunt arse until you make partner

>>508536244
they aren't really minting many new partners anymore, and partnerships now include a 'non-equity' track, which means you don't get a slice of the overall pie in the same way that the previous partners once did.

>>508531509 (OP)
boomers are the middleman generation, stop working for them and they bring in State subsidized illegal third world slaves to replace you

>>508536360
boomers love to pull the ladder up behind them

just join the masonic lodge, rape some toddler on camera or some other shit, let then have a video of you in your dippers while you eat poop.

>>508532176
So in other words, you only make money because of those boomer partners so stfu.

>>508534609
When I first graduated, I got a job at a boutique investment bank in New York. I had thought that promotions was like you spend x years in some job, and then y years in another job, z in the next, so on and so forth. In year 2, I had a totally lucky thing where I basically signed a client by accident and they made me the deal guy. So I ran that deal by myself and did the work that was like 3 ranks above me. I realized then that if I just kept winning clients, they would treat me like a partner and pay me like one too. So I bought a Constant Contact subscription and started blasting out my hook to people, signed a couple small transactions, and then got poached by a bigger firm to do a job I normally would’ve had to work for 6-8 years to get. I got it after 2. Choosing to just win business like your bosses do is the ultimate hack for professional jobs like law, finance, etc.

>>508531509 (OP)
Just go open your own practice. That is what I did.

Employment is a scam. I only get $350/hr to fly people across the fucking ocean.

>>508532176
Woah look at that, it's the answer to why you make less money than the partners and it only took 1 (one) post to get to

>>508531509 (OP)
Holy fuck, if you really do work in a firm making $350 and cant understand why, you don't deserve anything nearly to the degree that you're making right now. You would legitimately be retarded. This sniffs of rage bait more than anything.

>>508531509 (OP)
do you understand that you are part of the problem? like do you get that at all?

>>508531509 (OP)
Lol, this faggot works on patents and was on here just the other day claiming he kept all the $1,570 an hour and billed 3,000 hours a year.

If you can bring in and maintain new clients you become a partner.

It's not some kind of government job where you just sort of get promoted and sit there.

Becoming a partner at a law firm = sales, it means you are directly responsible for drumming up new business and maintaining it.

How the fuck does a lawyer getting $350/hr not understand this. Aren't you guys supposed to have the best reading comprehension

>>508540600
Billable hours =/= actual hours.
But yes.

>>508531509 (OP)
Sounds about right.
There's nothing stopping you from starting your own firm.

>>508531509 (OP)
>$350
>PER FUCKING BILLABLE HOUR.
And here I am making 10x less than that making sure some meth head junkie doesn't steal shit from a construction site. You sit behind a desk in a nice little air conditioned office and play fucking Jewish legal word games with no risk of injury making more than I do.
Fuck off OP. I should be getting that kind of money.

>>508532176
It’s sad, but that’s the way it is, friend. It will be some time before boomers all die and capital is vanquished, so just do your best until then. Don’t forget to perform little acts of sabotage and to sow discontent in people as you go, though. It’s good for the soul to sow the seeds of America’s destruction. The revolution starts with the individual.

>>508531509 (OP)
you're literally a communist kike if you don't want to give 80% of your work to the capitalists.

>>508541070
Then yea what others have essentially said, clients have chose to go with the partners due to their reputation. Partners charge for access to their resources and knowledge and relationship. You push some papers like a whiny faggot. You don't have these relationships, risk, knowledge developed over years of servicing clients in these coroprations. Nothing falls on you regarding that. The partners hold the risk, you don't hold anything. You get paid for your work regardless. You faggots pushing communism never calculate for risk.

>>508531509 (OP)
>why communism is supposedly 'bad'?
name one communist country where a lawyer makes $350/hr
you can't and that is why communism is bad

>>508535891
> which might sound substantial
Aussming you take a month off a year, $308,000 a year is substantial in any city.
You have no idea how to spend money if you think that is tight.

>>508531509 (OP)
I used to work at a bank with executives and one of the executives had a plaque on his desk that said $100 billion in sales and I think he only made about 150,000 a year himself if you want to be rich, you have to make someone else much richer

>>508541563

Canadian banking is really pretty pathetic compared to American banking. I used to do the expense claims for the bank and so I’d see how much everyone spent and made and it’s crazy how much more the American banks would spend when they were in town you’d get a Canadian banker spending 15 or $16 on lunch and get American bankers spending in the 10s of thousands.

>>508531509 (OP)
Free market capitalism is a finite system because it only works with an abundance of resources and slave labor. When all of that goes away free market capitalism just becomes dystopian end stage capitalism with 3 corporations running the government and controlling all means of production.

Because you won't be able to commercialize legal advocacy. You do what the state says and this is worth nothing to a client.

Late stage judeocapitalism

Those rich boomers are also enirnching a Jewish central bank(requirement of capitalism )
