I recently started working at a firm that does a lot of legal aid. In order to attract more private clients, they want us to go out and do speaking engagements and volunteer work (on our own time). Furthermore, they started asking us to consider doing per diem duty counsel work to bring up our receivables (aka- work as duty counsel and give them our pay). I was so appalled by this comment, I’m beyond livid. I became an associate so I didn’t have to go out and bring in business. (Cont.)

Hi all! I just got a Senior tax associate role in industry ($85k, MCOL; 17% more than I currently make). Enjoyed the people I interviewed with; my only hesitation is that the company itself has had a rough couple of years (healthcare company, had a few bad acquisitions that they’ve since shed off). Their busy season is just January and early February, with their team working until about 7 PM during the week and a few Saturdays. I’m interested, but it’s also my 1st offer; what would you do?

Family law associate. I run a docket of about 40-50 cases and work about 50 hours a week. I currently make about 125K (self-employed, no benefits). Between jury trials for CPS termination cases and the highly adversarial nature of family law, I find this job to be incredibly draining, as I have horrid work/life balance and struggle with constant anxiety.

I recently got an offer with a personal injury firm. 110K, full benefits, for a non-litigation/docket manager role. Thoughts?

I have about 1.5 yr of experience as an associate making 81k in healthcare consulting. What range could I realistically ball park when interviewing with other firms? I have some data analytic experience mostly in power BI and alteryx. MCOL for location.

I’m a senior associate at a v10 firm considering an in-house senior compliance position at a pharma company. Seems like a good fit and a good opportunity. It checks all my boxes but I’m worried about being pigeonholed in compliance and not being competitive for legal roles down the line. In practice, this job would involve both legal and compliance work but I’d sit in compliance. Has anyone had any issues going from a compliance role to a counsel role, particularly in healthcare?

Currently working in rwe consulting at a healthcare firm. What’s the chances of moving into a more general strategy consulting role at tier 1/2 firm, would I have to join at an entry level or would a senior associate / junior consultant role be plausible?

How easy is it to go back to big law after doing a few years in house? I am a senior associate planning to take a job in-house at a healthcare company. I’m curious how difficult it would be to go back to big law in a couple of years, either as an associate or counsel, if I wanted to go back.

Recruiter reached out to me about joining Oliver Wyman’s healthcare practice at the Associate level and I wanted to see if anyone could speak to the sub-levels and expected compensation. For context, I have ~5 years consulting experience (2 payer, 3 provider) and would be based in NYC. Thanks!

Anyone willing to provide a referral for a healthcare management consulting associate role? Thanks!

Input needed. Received offer from McK as a manager on solutions side. Currently Sr. associate at boutique (generalist). Just received a promotion to engagement manager that I thought I had no shot at. New comp is now slightly higher than McK offer. Am I crazy to question the jump? What other things should I be considering? Exit opps, benefits, advancement, etc. Thinking I should leave to get McK on the resume, but hard to leave money on the table. Realize a lot of factors, but any thoughts? TIA

Is it dumb to take a new role at a lower title but higher total comp? I’m currently an associate product manager at an agency supporting federal clients. I have an exit opportunity as a product analyst at an established healthcare tech company. Current role is about leading a team to build/enhance products. Exit op would be less implementation focused.
Current comp as APM: $83k
Comp for potential new role: $113k

Between two offers, "Associate Principal" for m&a consulting in the Healthcare industry vs a Director at a F300 company doing M&A and Partnerships. Consulting pays about 50k more. What does the future look like in consulting? I am a bit nervous jumping from from "industry side" to the "consulting side".

Deciding between OC&C Associate Consultant or Oliver Wyman Senior Consultant?

The base salaries offered are the same.

Traditional 401k vs. Roth 401k?

Context: 25F. New associate at $63k. Also have a Roth IRA, HSA, and HYSA.

Leaning toward Roth 401k due to the expectation I’ll be in a higher tax bracket later, but would love to hear advice from this bowl!

What’s a good fun purchase on a associate 1 salary. I’m putting my max in 401k but I want to splurge on 1 thing.

Hi Fishes,

TIA!

Am I crazy for thinking being a mom is harder than working in biglaw? I’m a mid level associate and FTM currently on maternity leave and the amount of sleeplessness over the past few weeks have convinced me my job is a piece of cake in comparison. I’m so overwhelmed.

Giving notice to a partner who’s about to go on maternity leave. I think she’s relying on me to handle her matters while she’s away as I’m mid-level and am basically her only associate. I feel so guilty and am worried that this will burn a bridge. 😣
