HI. I’m 9 years out of law school.
I currently work remotely in a HCOL (CA). I don’t have billables and get 10 days of vacation/ sick days a year. My base salary is $130,000/year. Total comp was $165k last year, including bonuses. Low stress (generally) and work anywhere between 35-40 hours a week. I received: Offer 1) 200k for 1850 billables. Not interested in the law. Offer 2) 185k for 1980 billables. Semi interested in the law. Both fully remote. Even worth it to jump ship?

Agree that it’s not worth it for those billables, although it does seem you are underpaid now (although not too bad given those hours and remote flexibility). 10 days of combined vacation/sick feels rude.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!!

I’m in-house, so no billables and similar relatively low stress work, in western upstate NY area making $145k base and similar to you in total comp, maybe more like $160k. I’m in office 2-3 days a week but with flexible (unlimited) time off. I feel like you could command higher pay at your current job especially given HCOL. But I wouldn’t go back to billables no matter what the pay lol.

Need your help 🐠 I feel like I‘m always sick (flue like symptoms ~2x per month).
