I passed a job interview a year ago, signed the contract and completed everything required for the job including a new DBS paid for by myself. But, I have never started the job and I never had any written correspondence from the company. Every time I emailed them about a start date, they would call the next day with the promise that I would start soon. After a year, I sent again another email asking for an update and was told that they haven't got a job to give me.

You thought they were holding a job for you... for a year? Without a single intervening written correspondence?

I signed the contract, gave my references and had my induction with them. But every time I emailed them to ask for a starting date, they would call me the next (upon receiving my email) and would give a date with a probability. In March, I randomly received a call from them and they informed me that I would be starting by the end of the month. And then nothing.

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
