Need help evaluating three options. I like my current team and company, but pay is not particularly competitive.

Option 1: Stay in current role despite comp disappointment

Option 2: Stay at current company, but move to a better paid team for maybe a 25% bump

Option 3: Go back to my former employer who I have a good relationship with for a 75% raise, expecting a worse lifestyle

I would go Option 3 without a doubt except that I've been too much of a job hopper and worry about optics.

Flip a coin. Heads - 2. Tails - 3. Also, how much of a job hopper will you really look like if you are returning to a former company?

Agree with the above - how long have you been in your current role by the way?

Less than a year

I wouldn't worry about optics...$$ is more important. I would move to the other team first, and see how that goes before jumping back to the old position

Mid-level here. Has anyone gotten their firm to approve their doing work at a deep discount and, if so, what strategies did you use? A potential client approached me directly about a small matter (~20 to 30 hr amicus brief). The potential client (gov’t) pays a standard rate ~40% lower than mine, but I want to take on the project because it would be a good professional opportunity (e.g., high profile case & client) and of course the lower rate won’t affect my comp directly. 🤷‍♀️ All advice welcome!

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
