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.

This is not my wheelhouse so I’m not sure of the answer. If someone is writing a “memoir” and is including me in it, and I DONT want to be in the book, do I have any legal recourse? I understand since it’s been published it doesn’t meet any invasion of privacy or potential defamation yet, but is there something I can do preliminarily to protect myself and stop my inclusion?
