Got an offer at a new firm and the partner said the compensation package is very competitive. I asked for details and its been crickets ever since. Competitive compared to what. If we can draft 40-page contracts, we can write a salary range.

Was this a written offer? Comp should be in the offer letter no?

So this was a verbal offer? When does the written one come in?

No compensation outlined in the offer is odd. Not entirely sure what the thought process is.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
