How bad is it to leave a firm for its direct competitor if there's some serious bad blood between the two? And, how much should a junior attorney expect to make for a 1950 billable year? Any info helps!

To gauge how much you should expect to make depends on a few factors: location, practice, and firm size

Yea it’s really impossible to gauge what an attorney is going to make without context for location, firm size, practice, etc. Small firms pay as low as 60k while the same class year could be paid 205-250 Cravath

This happened with one team at my old firm constantly. They were eternally losing people (even up to partner level) to two particular competitor firms and there was some real feeling there. Didn’t ever stop anyone from leaving, it is what it is. You would probably have to deal with some awkwardness but these things pass.

If there’s serious bad blood, I’m surprised the competitor will entertain a hire.

I guess it's more one-sided, my current group has issues with the other more than anything else.
