In need of advice! I’m 25 years old & 2 years into a niche field of civil litigation. I’m not receiving the support that I want from the Partner I work with and have applied and received 2 other offers:

The startup is very enticing because I’d definitely get a lot of mentorship and it would be a good learning opportunity. And I’m also young enough to take risks. I also got along very well with the woman starting the firm based on our interview. We had a lot of similarities and she is someone I’d like to learn from.

Civil litigation as in forensics? Or are you a lawyer?

Wow. $115K-$135K for 2 years of experience in forensics is incredible. Would you also be doing forensics at these other firms? Personally I would go for the $135K with the small firm, especially if you’re not expected to do overtime. That’s a dream offer for a lot of people. The other one seems a little too small, could be really risky and it’s not paying more to justify it
