Newly promoted experienced hire SC making $113k, 10 YOE (switched industries). Got an offer from TCS in an Advisory practice (not the tech sweatshop stuff that I keep seeing people mention). Base salary is $190k and in TCS equivalent of a M role. Downside to taking the salary hike and boomeranging back to D in ~2 years?

FYI - I have 2 kids, so that kind of pay raise is kind of a big deal.

On paper you should take it.

However, I think you could get 190K at a more reputable company than TCS, especially with 10 YOE.

Take it while you plan your next move and who is to say you will not find interesting work out there. Also, you have 2 kids, I would imagine that the extra pay will go a long way in taking care of your family. Congrats btw.

And make sure you are doing in-demand, industry leading work.

Honestly the WITCH companies are so tech focused, that is probably a given, but good to double check.

V5 Legal Assistant here (2 years in industry, started at current firm in late April). I’m on pace for 2700 billable hours / year. To boot, that rate is going up because of all of the 65+ hour weeks lately, and the first month being billed around 40.

I was just told that I may not qualify for any bonuses because I haven’t been here for 1 year.

Is this normal? Am I crazy for thinking that I should be getting a *significant* bonus for all of the crazy hours and deadlines?
