Considering moving from a large regional (currently a senior) to a small company with about 20 employees. The new opportunity does not allow remote work, but is a 40 hour workweek generally. The pay would be about a 33% raise. Seems like a decent trade off, but flexibility is very important as a new parent (3 month old at home, wife works but not currently). Any potential pitfalls I should consider? I left my firm previously and have been back for over a year at this point, so… continued

They could have straight up lied about the 40 hours thing. The pay raise is very nice, but what’s the total comp? Not sure I’d go back into the office, even for 30% more…

I think with a newborn, this might not be the role for you...I would think flexibility is far more important at the moment. Bigger jobs will always be out there, and I do agree with PwC1 - there is 0 guarantee that they will actually stick to 40 hours a week

So there is very likely not an opportunity to return back to the firm if things don’t work out.

I did a similar jump a couple years ago, and the lack of flexibility (and company struggles) caused me to boomerang back within the year.. having to be in the office when it is slow or there’s nothing to do feels like such a waste of time, and not having the option to wfh occasionally without having to make it a big deal ended up being more of a pain point than i initially thought it would be.. also with smaller companies make sure you really get to know your future manager/boss/ coworkers, and that you like them, and feel like you will have the ability to grow/develop working for them

A small firm with 40 hr workweek is a lie. Flexibility as a parent is everything. Do not go.

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me.

I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.
