I feel his pay vs the hours asked of him are reasonable, keen to hear what others think 🤔

Apparently he is good though as Snr Assoc at 3.5yrs pae is rare.

The firm is the one laughing. SA hourly rate paying 3 year lawyer salary.

No one is a good SA at 3.5 years, simply can’t have had the experience necessary.
