Gotta do what’s best for you.
Agreed with all of the above. It is the new norm and will likely be seen as normal-ish in the future.
Only caveat is that not every future employer will see this with rose colored glasses. I was recently quizzed why I only stayed at my first two jobs for 2 years a piece. It ended up not being a deal breaker but something that you should anticipate and have an answer for.
2 years is decent at both places
I would do it and plan to stay for at least 5 years. That’s a huge bump in pay for a low cost market.
Be ready to stick it out at your new place for a while
Why are they offering so much? What’s the current environment? Is it high turnover because the environment is hostile?
What firm in North Fl? I am in North FL and also looking to make bank lol
Do it yeaaaaaaaa hell yea man let’s go!!!!!
Do it. 👊
Go for go for it. Life's a journey. This is much less important than it used to be. Especially as a junior associate. The comp story is also compelling. You work hard, you're trying to elevate your practice and your career. Climb that ladder the best you know how, build a network along the way and don't burn bridges. Congratulations!
If asked at a later date why the moves, you can explain the compensation increases which I think makes it perfectly justified. I think where people start to get into more trouble on their resume is for churning jobs bc they can’t figure out what they want, can’t hack it, etc. You have a completely understandable, compelling and objective reason for making the move.
See if your current firm can match. Doubt they will. Go for it!
Go get the bag
It will only matter if you go looking for a 4th job next year, and even then unlikely. Take the $$, don’t look back
You do you, Associate. Get that money.
What area of law?
I get it personally, but whenever I interview laterals and they have a history like that, I get a ton of pushback from others — even those who normally are forgiving and pretty soft — on hiring them. This is true even if the short stints were years ago.
I've moved around a lot, and i'm better off for it. That said, i am being rejected based on how much i've moved with current lateral opportunities at Milbank scale firms.
Like a wise character named Rod Tidwell once said, "Show me the money!" 🤑
I doubt any recruiter/hiring manager would see a 120% salary increase in 3 years as YOUR problem.
