Have a formal offer at Citi for 120K as an AVP in the NY office. Currently making 92K at my current role where I feel there’s not much room to grow anymore. Is this a fair offer? I currently WFH pretty much full time at my current role which has been amazing, but it seems like Citi would require me to be there 2-3 days in the office per week - and this is something I’m very hesitant about. Thoughts on how to approach this?

Was lucky enough to work exclusively with one partner there (he alone gave me 95% of my hours), and he was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Unfortunately, he retired, but I still get lunch with him every weekend. So your experience might vary!
That’s amazing!

One observation she made was that the London office has plenty of people who’ve been with the firm for more than a decade, some even two. Most of them also never worked anywhere else. Def a good sign.

Some of the worst people I’ve met happened to have came from Jones Day. Take that for what it’s worth.

I’ll do you one better. I’ll take it for ALL it’s worth. I appreciate the insight.

They pay below market.
A friend works in their London office and couldn’t be happier. She says the people are brilliant and down to earth. Maybe the brit culture?
Coach
You get paid black box. Maybe Jones Day is the first corporate entity in history to ever discourage salary transparency and have it genuinely be for reasons of "collegiality," but if you think this is the most likely explanation, welllll...
It’s pretty sweat-shopy (at least in litigation), which isn’t worth it, imo, for the below-market comp. The people are generally very nice, however.

Good to know! Thank you
