I spent about 8-9 month's unemployed and underemployed. Last month I finally got a remote, part-time job in the field. Today I was finally offered a FT, hybrid job. My advice needed is:
1. The FT gig is a lowball. I would need to keep my PT job to make good money but it would be about 60 hours a week.
2. I reached out to a local company while waiting on the FT offer and they immediately wanted me to come in for an interview later this week, should I even bother with an offer in-hand?

Go to #2! Could be better

The FT job I should mention is woth the largest HC network on the east coast, and the whole MKTG team has crazy tenure, like 10-20 years for everyone.
Job no.2 is in an industry I love and experience in

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?

Does anyone have family members who constantly demand money because they feel like you’re rich now because you’re a lawyer? I’ve always wanted to be in a position to help my family but we all live in the high COL city so my salary doesn’t carry me as far as it would elsewhere. I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job). It has become quite the burden.
