4th year at a mid size PI firm. Got pulled from litigating MVAs to help this solo we hired start a med Mal/nursing home practice. 1 year in and it looks like I’m two steps backwards in terms of getting paid because we’re a year or more out from a lot of the fees hitting. I respect the solo a lot, he’s a mentor, but I’ve got kids and I gotta get paid. Trying not to burn bridges, but I can’t wait years to get cut in. Advice?

You didn’t get a cut of the long term care recovery? So basically you have been taking a huge haircut on your contingency to help out someone else? I would just be up front, they want you to make them money and they have to incentivize it - would be surprised if firm wasn’t flexible with you

You need to talk about it with the managing partner. Often, that’s how these things go. If you keep quiet, the firm is happy to keep their money. But if you speak up in a professional, respectful and persuasive manner, they’ll probably at least meet you halfway. But push for the whole way.

Hi All,
In the HR discussion, we both agreed on 30L CTC (10% Variable) and 1L joining bonus. But later after 2-3 days when they need to release the offer, HR is saying they got the approval for 28L CTC(10% variable) and 2L joining bonus.

Should I take that offer and look for other options or straight forward reject the offer and then look for other options?

Also, according to this behaviour of the HR, is it good behaviour?
