If I reject an offer with big 4, will I be able to reapply for a position with them in the future (say a year or two from now)?

If you’re going to apply in a year then why reject them now?

You probably can apply again depending on how you decline the offer

Depends on the reason you give them. You're expecting, and need to stay at your current firm because of FMLA? They'll understand. You're shopping around for the biggest money, and right now they're not it? They might remember that, and hold it against you.


I swear to God, some partners act like they're in the 2009 hiring market, and not the current one we're in. They'll nitpick the most idiotic things about a candidate to justify not hiring them, and then wonder why we're short-staffed. (Just had a partner ding a good senior candidate for not doing enough marketing. WTF?)

Yes. But their requirements for that position might change in a year.

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.
