Hey LEK fishes or anyone that has any advice. I recently accepted a job offer for the boston office but over the past weekend, my circumstances have changed and I’d need to stay in NYC for family and would probably have to take back my acceptance. I know the nyc office doesn’t have any spots available but does anyone know if the recruiters can switch it after I’ve already accepted the boston office?

I interviewed for the SF office, got an offer, asked them if they could switch my offer for Boston and they sent me another offer for Boston within 30 min!
It might be a bit dependent on regional needs, but it shouldn’t hurt to ask.

I am expecting an offer from Oracle Digital, Consulting with about 60% hike (25 LPA fixed + Variable at 5.2 YOE) from current pay package and a role of principal consultant.
A few questions I have regarding this.

1. What are the perks/employee ben there?
2. How is the work life balance?
3. How is the hike and bonus?
4. How is the scope of moving to development centre of Oracle - IDC?

Finally, what do you guys think about the pay package, should I be targetting a higher pay package?

Thank You!

I received a job offer from a PI firm (MVA and tractor trailer cases) in Houston, Texas; the bonus proposed was 2.5% of attorney’s fees for any cases settled each quarter. We are assigned 50 cases a quarter and the top attorney clears $25K each quarter. This is my first time working at a PI firm. Can anyone share any guidance? Is 2.5% industry standard? Is it realistic to settle/resolve that many cases? I am trying to learn more about this niche before I counter-offer and attempt to negotiate.
