Assuming everything else checks out, would you take this offer based on salary? Miami/fort Lauderdale area, 11 years of practice, complex commercial lit. Small/midsize firm. $500-$600 hourly rate, 1850 hours a year. Base salary $225k, yearly bonuses “up to $75k” (not really predictable). Hourly bonuses $5-7k (not sure what the thresholds are or how often). Significant flexibility in remote work.

What's your current salary?

Then yes, I would. Otherwise, salary seems low.

Base salary seems a little low given YOE and hours/hourly rate. Maybe bonus would make up for it. Do you already own housing in the area? If not, im South Florida, given flood and hurricane insurance rates, and overall high housing costs, you’ll find that salary won’t go as far as you might think. I think part of the key here is potential upward mobility. If yes, then probably an offer worth pursuing.

How are 1st year litigation associates dealing with WFH? I’ve been having terrible anxiety/panic attacks, and pretty sure my billables wont exceed 110 for April.

CA courts are still closed, and I’m worried I won’t be able to exceed (or even meet) my May goal after April.

Transactional junior associate in biglaw. Working for a dedicated practice group rather than in an associate pool. For the past few months, I’ve been loaned to another practice group for a good chunk of time. While the people are decent and the hours aren’t terrible, I detest the work and don’t see a future in this new practice. My main partner says it should end in the next month, but I don’t expect that to happen. Is it a terrible idea to ask to be taken off?
