In my experience: Less politics, more access to senior leadership, more flexibility in the types of benefits they offer, better pay

No.. just less politics from my experience

Better benefits I’ve found. As far as perks go (fun welcome kits etc) but not better pay

I work at a small agency that has okay benefits but pays about 25% more from what I can tell. All partners come from big agency experience

i’ve seen higher pay - depends on the agency. much wider range than the big shops. you don’t have the big salaries at the top but IMO everyone else is making more.

No. From my experience the health benefits cost more and the 401K plan was profit sharing.

The opposite

Lower pay, more work, smaller budgets, bossy clients. IMHO

Currently working on a three person team in a larger GC group. I lateraled from a different group that did not pay attorneys on an attorney scale.

Is it worth trying to get a counter to stay if I get the bigger offer?
