Every year around bonus season, it feels like half the legal world is quietly waiting it out… counting days, refreshing bank accounts, and then suddenly updating LinkedIn. A few of my friends are all planning to move after the bonus paid out! I am just wondering do most people talk about leaving but end up staying anyway, especially in this market?

If I had a nickel for every person planning to leave after the bonus, I’d probably be able to leave before the bonus myself! It’s wishful thinking for many, but definitely some people do follow through. Given how unpredictable the market is right now, it’s even harder to say.

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?
