I’ve spent my entire seven-year career practicing in a secondary market in Ohio, but my family needs to relocate to NYC area for personal reasons. I have extensive experience leading complex commercial transactions, but Manhattan recruiters keep treating me like a small-town lawyer who won't be able to handle more. I’ve already passed the NY bar, so credentials aren't the issue. How do I prove that I belong?

Now I just need to figure out how a director with a tax background can have transferable skills to something else...

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.

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.
