I was a paralegal before becoming a licensed attorney. The ID firm I worked at as a paralegal, offerred me an atty position. I HATE billables but the perks of my job is a good partner & it's 100% remote. I received an offer at an insurance company's captive law firm but its 3 in/ 2 WFH. When I gave my 2 weeks ntc, my partner didnt want me to leave and met my salary at the new salary...now, staying seems like the better option since daycare is so costly and I will Lose $ if I take new job.advice?

Stay where you're at... At least for now.

Usually people say dont stay bc things wont be the same anymore. But this feels different and you have a good relationship w the partner. I say stay

Thanks! Yes, after much going back and forth, I too, feel staying makes the most sense at this point. The only reason I wanted to leave was more $ bc once SCOTUS, makes a decision on the loan issue, my loan payments were going to kick in. But, when he matched, that became a non isdue. Everything else is pretty good. Partner is a good mentor, he is easy to get along with, work life balance has been good...so, there technically is no reason for me to leave.....thanks for the advice! I really needed someone else's perspective!

I'd stay at your current company, especially since it's 100% remote and you don't have to deal with the stress of finding daycare. Also sounds like your partner is committed to meeting your needs so if you needed to ask them for any additional accommodations they might be willing to offer more.

If the billable requirements are a major source of stress and dissatisfaction, and if the insurance company job offers other benefits or career opportunities that are more appealing, then it may be worth considering the new opportunity.
