I worked in a Texas office for a few years and loved the people but hated the work. My biggest issue is the salaries seem to be entirely discretionary based on the office. I was a 3rd year getting $150k. When I got an offer at another firm they offered to raise my salary $50k to match. If they could make that big of a jump they were clearly underpaying me.

I work with a couple of the Chicago office partners. They are smart and friendly to work with. The pay is above average for a firm that derives a lot of its business from insurance companies. Did you get pitched on the bonus structure? That’s their selling point for compensation so I am assuming it was pushed.
