Colleague in tiny overworked biglaw group leaving. Bail?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 2nd, 2015 11:31 PM Author: territorial senate sound barrier Work in 8 person group. Everyone above 2400 hours. Colleague is a good friend and told me he is leaving. I have another offer in hand at a similar firm. Does anyone have any experience with leaving a small group at the same exact time? Might seem like kicking them when they are down but I plan to resign as well right after my buddy. Wondering if it's worth waiting a month to soften the blow.

Date: March 3rd, 2015 12:22 AM Author: 180 area why are you jumping ship? (from the sounds of it you'd made this decision long before your buddy said he was out)
generally, fuck them with no emotion because they will do the same.
but if you actually care about these people or can imagine them being in a position to really help you or really hurt you down the line, then raise the issue and just be honest. let them know you'd already decided to leave and ask if an extra month will help them out, assuming you have the extra month to give.
they might not care at all; they might still be pissed you're leaving. they'll probably give you some credit for being a stand up guy, and in the worst case scenario they're not going to be any more pissed at you than they would have been if you'd just told them to pound sand in the first place. |

Date: March 3rd, 2015 7:26 AM Author: territorial senate sound barrier I agree fully with your advice and appreciate people telling me to resist Stockholm syndrome. Funny enough, it is not easy to find a transactional associate at lower tier vault firms. We have looked for 6 months with no success, as v20s are handing out offers like candy. I actually think my firm is going to have to dig possibly into shitlaw to find someone. While I get that people say we are replaceable, I am telling you that I'm seeing a huge shortage of midlevels. I literally got offers at a couple much higher ranked firms after totally tanking the interview. Anyone with a pulse and a good resume is instantly hired.
