Hi All,
Need suggestions here. Please help me out. I was interviewed with IBM and got selected. Waiting for offer letter. Meanwhile got selected in another company and got offer too. Put down my ppr. Offer from another company is way beyond than IBM almost 22% more in terms of fixed. Now I’m confused that once IBM releases their offer then should I ask them to match with my holding or not ? Will they consider for negotiations? What’s your thoughts? IBM

Does anyone have experience with Ben Glass’s “Great Legal Marketing” programs? https://greatlegalmarketing.com
I ordered a free “starter kit” from his company and received a decent-sized box with some books and audio CD’s. Haven’t listened to the CD’s yet, but the books aren’t bad, with plenty of practical advice.
Now he’s running a promotion where you can get two months of his basic-level course for just $19.95 to cover the cost of shipping. It seems that Ben is one of the better-regarded legal marketing “gurus” out there.
For 10 years plus, I’d say yes, they’re taking advantage of you. What’s the Convo around partnership like? More importantly, would you want to be their partner? Do you like the way they run the biz/treat their customers/treat you? What do you charge an hour; what do the partners charge per hour ?
You cannot get robbed if you consent to a salary. Robbery in Minnesota is probably defined the same way as it is in Georgia. Someone taking something forcefully from you WITHOUT your permission. Even if you think you should be paid $150,000 annually, your failure to insist on the remaining $60,000 is not robbery, because it was given to you, then forcibly taken.
Similarly, when solo practitioners undervalue their services and charge too little for legal representation. They were not robbed, they lacked confidence to ask for more. PLEASE STOP CASTING YOURSELF AS A VICTIM.
Go get the confidence to ask for what you think your value is worth. Stop blaming others.
I'd agree in sentiment with "Attorney 2", but don't beat yourself up over it. You're doing the right thing by researching the market you're in and what your services are generally worth.
That said, your salary does seem a bit low for 10 years in. Take a look at some job posting sites and start interviewing to see what others are offering. It can only help.
Best of luck!
