I hate my current firm (culture, pay, partnering model, leadership’s lack of strategy, etc). Looking externally. What’s the minimum bump, if any, that you’d move for given those circumstances? Would you take a pay cut?

If I hated where I worked that much, it wouldn’t take a pay bump to leave. But if I was that miserable, it would be effecting other aspects of my life, including my mental health. I would consider a pay cut if a new job made me measurably happier.

If you hate it so much, go get the best offer you can and leave. It’s not worth staying if you’re miserable. But don’t assume the grass is always greener on the other side.

Thank you MD2

We know so little about your situation and that is such a personal question. How in the world can we answer that for you?

Successfully switching jobs at high levels (like yours) eventually boils down to tissue rejection- if you are accepted by your peers and staff at the new organization, it will work out great.

Other things may or may not work out, but without being accepted whole heartedly, it’s hard to find your rhythm.

Agree

I just took a pay cut to join a better firm w/ rational leadership. I will be down the next 12 or so months but see a lot more medium to long term comp potential here than at my old shop. Also, I don't dread going to work anymore.

Pretty sure you are in the "exceedingly well comped" category so go where you will be happy.

Equity? Non compete?

F

25%+

Thank you P3!

It depends. In which firm are you now?

I would take a pay cut to join a better firm!

I received a job offer from a PI firm (MVA and tractor trailer cases) in Houston, Texas; the bonus proposed was 2.5% of attorney’s fees for any cases settled each quarter. We are assigned 50 cases a quarter and the top attorney clears $25K each quarter. This is my first time working at a PI firm. Can anyone share any guidance? Is 2.5% industry standard? Is it realistic to settle/resolve that many cases? I am trying to learn more about this niche before I counter-offer and attempt to negotiate.
