i'm a sixth year at a market paying biglaw firm (incl. market bonus) in non-NYC/CA. got an in house job offer paying $200k plus $45k performance bonus.

firm is now offering me an annual $50k retention bonus to stay which will continue every year until I am up for partnership. section chair and administrative chair have told me i am "golden" for partnership if I want it, but I assume that's BS to get me to stay and grind out hours.

any reason at all to stay at firm over chill in house job?

law school debt has been paid off, married but no kids and no plans to have them so not sure how much we really need the extra income.

Do it for $150k and a private written letter from 3-5 Partners to nominate you and support for nomination. Settle for $75k and no vote. It's worth it to make partner.

If the in house job is a sure thing, i agree it pays to be aggressive.

How old is your spouse? If you are positive you won’t have kids, go in house. If there is any chance you end up having kids, grind away until your house is paid off. Also, get them to agree in writing to 6 months severance if they let you go without cause or if you don’t make partner.

she's a couple years younger than me, but there are medical reasons we can't have kids so its not going to happen. we've also been together seven years or so and we've always shared that view so i doubt either of us would change our minds
