I’ve been approached by a recruiter about an opportunity at a boutique firm to come in as a partner. I’ve spent my entire 13 year career at a big Atlanta law firm. I’m currently on a part time/flexible work schedule and am not on the partnership track, so my pay has been about 60% of what it normally would be for my experience level. They’re asking for my compensation expectations without providing any kind of guidance on what it should be. Anyone know what a reasonable starting “ask” would be?

Do you know what your rate/billable expectation would be?

The recruiter said billable expectation may be negotiable, so that if I wanted it to be 1700 for example, I could say that and adjust my comp expectation accordingly. I don’t know what my rate would be.

My husband & I are relocating to be closer to family next year. I always assumed I’d stay in my current role until the move, but things at work have become horribly toxic.

I’m feeling really hopeless & trapped recently.
