As a lateral, if you agree to a start date before your current firm pays bonuses, do you ask the new firm to cover any supplemental year end bonuses? For example if you’re on pace for 2300 hours and would therefore get an above market bonus? Same thing for if the Milbank bonus gets built into your firm’s year end bonus

You can ask. If they really need you to start now they might do it. Otherwise they might tell you that they’re happy to wait for you to collect your bonus before you move.

I’ve always wondered if they check to see if you would’ve actually gotten a bonus or not

So they just take your word for it?

As a lateral, signing bonus should have been negotiated before you agreed to a start date 👀

Had a very unpleasant experience with the entire interview process at Paytm. First of all they kept all three rounds in a single day . It started from the morning and ended up till the final round at late evenings. After all the rounds were cleared, the HR asked for the expected package, and when I gave him my quote which was just 35% more than my current CTC, he got reluctant and said we only have a budget of an X amount which was just 10% more than my current CTC. Who on earth does that..?

Hey guys,
I’m currently a quality control analyst in the biopharma/gene therapy field making 72k base in the Houston area. I’ve been working here for 2 years and my company is well established and the job is easy, but I honestly just want higher pay. I see companies (smaller and larger) that potentially can give me that but would it be worth it? I’m having a hard time finding out what opportunities/paths I can take and what amount of $ would be worth moving jobs for. Any insight is appreciated!

I am a mid level and have received an offer from a regional big law firm in a non-market paying location. I believe the firm would be a great fit and the location is where I want to be. The biggest issue is money. I’d be lateraling from full cravath in a major market and the initial offer I received is a bit off that (read: 50% salary reduction). While the market is cheaper in some respects, housing is not. How far can I expect this firm to go to in terms of compensation? Any negotiation tips?
