I’m interviewing for MD role for an agency that’s much smaller than my current one w/ the potential to make 50% more than I currently am. The new place would need me (leadership) in the office once a week but is also 1:30-2:30 hours away (one way). Current job is 1-1:30 hour drive (one way). Been at my current agency a long time so this would be a huge thing. I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the commute as it’s something I hate currently, but the pay increase… what would you do?

If you’re into the gig negotiate protection. Minimum severance and other things to limit your risk.

What am I missing? You will get 50% more comp for what is at most 2 hours of extra commuting a week?

This would be a no brainer on my end.

Take the job, bank the money and the extra experience. Doesn’t seem too much of a commute stretch v gain

Is the current job commute once a week? 2:30 one way is crazy but if you can work while doing it, maybe ok for once a week if you are super excited about the job? Also how often is the rest of the team in? If they are in 3x and you once, I could see that not going well long term.

“The potential to make”? Or “I will make”?

Conflicted 2nd Year Associate here. I generally like my firm but obviously hate the practice of law (biglaw). I've been offered a fairly generous comp package to take a non-attorney compliance role with a FAANG company. While there is a modest base pay cut, the total comp (sign on + annual bonus + options) beats where I'm at now and probably will be better than Cravath-scale (including bonus) through at least Year 4. Since I know I'll bail for in-house anyway, should I go now or wait?
