Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work.

They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?

Is it that all the big firm managers work together to keep the market in line? Is it the lack of reporting in the Canadian legal press? I feel like we are all getting screwed.
