I left as a 2nd year for 200K base, 10% bonus, v generous equity.
HCOL West Coast tech.

I’d take the market base pay + some equity / bonus as set out on lawyer whisperer. Rather than pay, the industry, company, products, and team are more important to me. If I’m leaving big law salary, I want to know I’m developing my career in the direction I want.
HCOL and I’d go back to 1L market from when I started ($160k). Might even do less if it was a 9-5 LOL
Currently a third year in HCOL area - I would take 170K and above
10-15%

4th year. HCOL area, won’t leave for less than $200k base, 15-20% bonus... any equity is gravy.
Currently in NYC, co 2018:
-for a true phone it in boring paper pushing job that is no more than 40 hours a week I’d need ~170k all in. This also sounds boring and I don’t think I want that anyway.
-for a standard “good” job (i.e. full week with no or very rare weekend work) I’d want ~200k or maybe a little more all in.
-for something more intense than the above I’d want to be clearing ~250k. That said, current gig isn’t miserable so would only leave for the middle option.
