Date: September 26th, 2019 12:40 PM Author: diverse kitty cat Currently in niche practice somewhere between shitlaw/midlaw.
City attorney offer is 150k, obviously no bonus. Pension. Seems like a great opportunity but I have zero govt experience. |

Date: September 26th, 2019 5:29 PM Author: pearl meetinghouse I’d heavily consider taking it. You’re not going anywhere at your current job, that salary is quite good for the public sector, and if government doesn’t work out you can still go solo. Seems like this job would also be a good move for your family. Good early 30s move. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=4351613&forum_id=2#38891427) |

Date: September 26th, 2019 4:47 PM Author: Brindle boyish boistinker corner hard to imagine you ever having a better offer, unless you like your niche between shitlaw and midlaw and want to do it elsewhere or on your own (doesn't sound like you do).

Date: September 26th, 2019 7:55 PM Author: Brindle boyish boistinker corner my point is that i doubt you have any real security doing what you're doing, so why on earth would you stick it out? are you actually making 250k or 300k? you can't possibly think doing it for 200k with no security is better than 150k with gov't security (and probably decent bumps up the pay scale yet to come).

Date: September 26th, 2019 8:28 PM Author: diverse kitty cat Agree with that. Factoring in bonus current recent comp has floated between 200-250. 250 being a flush year.
I don't think the pay bumps at the govt job are substantial but the senior attorneys max out slightly north of 200 right now.
Recruiter has an interview for me at V60 but the thought of going back to biglaw makes me want to killself. I have no illusions about being able to juggle that life with my family obligations. |
