I've received a solid offer, but the timing is rough. My firm pays bonuses mid-March, and after the year I've had, mine should be decent. Do I ride it out another 3-4 months just to leave after I get my bonus, or just move on now? The new company, where my salary will be higher, seems flexible on the start date.

You could try to ask for a sign on bonus as last part of negotiation. You sound happy with the offer, even if the sign on bonus isn’t for the full amount you expect your current bonus to be, take what they offer and move on. Consider the 3-4 months at your new higher salary as early bonus payments. Do you have any PTO that you will also be able to cash out when you leave? That closes the gap even more.

Do the math on what you lose in incremental new comp vs hypothetical mid range bonus.

And then remember they can screw you. A bird in the hand...

Leave now. One small bonus in the long run is not worth losing the next job.

The bonuses I've received the last few years wouldn't be worth staying.

Can you bee 100% positive on the amount you'll be getting?

I would also imagine the other firm want you for the beginning of years busy season. But IDK

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.
