Hi, can anyone advise the best way to negotiate more severance after being let go? Is the threat of legal advice usually enough to try get an additional few weeks or does it generally require actual legal advice? In BC if that matters.

There is the Employment Standards Act that dictates the minimums but there is also common law standards.

Important to look at both especially if your employment contract doesn’t stipulate specifically what you get (which I assume it doesn’t).

Amount will depend on:
1. Your age
2. How likely you are to find another comparable job in the same field
3. How long you were there

I would definitely talk to a proper employment lawyer.

The *threat* of legal advice won't do anything. Get an employment lawyers advice if your package is fair or if you can get anything more, and if so, how much more. A reputable law firm will do an evaluation or intake before taking you on to see if your case is worth it.

At a minimum, make sure you get atleast 1 month of severance per year worked at your ex-employer

Want to get a sense check. Typical English firm salaries in London are about 70% Cravath (unless you're at one of the US firms that benchmarks to Cravath scale offices). 2PQE is around 165k USD + 30k bonus assuming 1800 billables. So comparing at a firm where you roughly bill 1900-2000 a year, you lose out, but if you bill 2200+, that's comparable?

Thinking aloud here - if you can find that 2000-billing firm, no sense staying in that payscale unless you have a shot at equity?

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
