Is it worth asking for a pay raise if you know you are leaving the firm soon? Coming up on my one year at a firm. I'm already significantly underpaid, however, they are a smallish firm (15-20 attorneys) and it's insurance work. I'm already on the hunt for a new job and plan to leave within 2-4 months. Is it worth trying to get them to squeeze out more if I know I plan to leave for way more money?

Seems like it would be a lot of hassle for no reason at all? Could leave a bad taste.

Yeah, you're right. Would not want to leave a bad taste as most of the people there are nice.

Yeah, no reason to pursue a raise if you plan to leave within a year afterwards.
