I’ve been offered a job at a very small firm but it’s 2k less than what I’m making now.
I loved the attorney and the support staff, should I switch?

That's not a massive pay cut, so if you think the new team would be good to work with it might be a good idea. When making decisions like this I always try to game out how things might be in a year, or a few years. It might be good to think about how you might grow in the job, what you'd learn at the new firm, or, perhaps, what you might miss about your current situation.

Definitely learn more and fine tune my skills & I don’t really miss anything about my situation now other than the familiarity of the work

That is completely up to you. You know your strengths and weaknesses. If you are indecisive on it, then get a sheet of paper and write the pros and cons of each position. Then by all means pray. Whichever you feel in your deep gut to work for and it feels completely right, without any doubts, do that.

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.

What were some effective tips or resources that helped you to learn the systems of your first firm? We feel like our firm admin/paralegal is not getting acclimated and not assisting the firm as we hoped. So we want to make sure we’re effectively training her and providing the best resources/tools for success.
