He doesn’t make 110 already as a 5th year at a mid sized insurance defense firm and only got offered 90 at a large firm? What market is this, Kansas?

Maybe they pay big bonuses?

Yeah, it sounds like there may be some ambiguous difference between what they are “offering” (maybe just a salary) and what they said he would “earn.” I would definitely bring it up in some form or another before accepting the job though.

He wants the job still but obviously wants closer to 110k. What is the best way to handle?

He said that he was told 110k salary plus bonus

Who told him that? Sometimes a partner will tell a potential hire something like that believing it is true but then when the hiring decision goes to the rest of the partners they say no.

Seems low for a mid sized insurance defense

What is your friend currently making at the mid sized firm? Why does he want to leave?

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer.

I'm involved in a personal case that I'm the lead counsel on. I decided I wanted to handle it because every attroney I talked to I didn't end up trusting to handle it for one reason or another.
