Ogletree is great. Awesome attorneys and great culture. Pay is a bit low for market.

Situation has been remedied

I worked at FP in Philly. 1800 billable requirement/2000 overall. I made $145 as a second year. Now I’m at Littler and I make $155 as a second year. Billable requirement is 1900. Both are highly ranked L&E firms. Littler is bigger with more tech capabilities and more high profile clients. It’s hard to speak to culture since every office can be different. But I’ve had a good experience at both offices.

Not a career pivot, but I was laid off recently and need a new job as a Legal Operations Manager. I was at a startup, though I like the culture, they are pretty unpredictable and employees tend to pay for the lack of structure. I am looking for a great work culture, with no high turnaround for longevity to grow in my career. I'm new to legal operations, so it's been tough to present a strong experience. I have over 10 years legal background, but that doesn't seem noticeable. Need help. In limbo

I accepted a $115K base salary, 13% bonus, 10k sign on bonus (scientist supervisor) job and two weeks later, got a $135K base, 17% bonus, and 15K sign on bonus (Senior scientist role) offer from another company. Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏

How much of a salary increase should they be looking for to jump. Another point is that they've been at their current position for almost 1 year.

Thanks!
