Anyone know if any of the major lit boutiques let employees work remotely from other cities in Texas where the firm does not have an office? I.e, are there any firms like Susman, AZA, Yetter, Lynn Pinker, etc. that would hire associates who live in San Antonio or Austin?

Susman will hire staff attorneys and of counsel that work remotely from other Texas cities. Some partners work remotely too. Associates are expected to be in Houston though and in office 3 days per week

Based off of Glassdoor, my salary matches Texas’s exactly and SF has the same role at 10k more. Should I show him the Glassdoor page? Don’t want to come off too strong. Please advise
