The new company I’m at now sent me an email from an email address that was HR@companyName.careers saying I was accepted for the position. They gave me paperwork to fill out and sign to accept the position
I fill out the paperwork and send it back to them and it goes through… then a few days later I go back to the email to say something else and I get this…?
Then today I got a check from the company In the mail to setup my home office, and it’s signed by someone I’ve never met before or heard of…?

I think it will depend on the size of your firm as to whether they can accommodate part time since often the overhead associated with a person does not shrink proportionally to the hours/pay reduction. At my firm, people who go on a reduced schedule usually go to ~75%, which for around 1900 billables is 1425. The numbers you've proposed are closer to 65%.
Yep same, ours is 70% or 85%.
Check also the minimum to still be eligible for benefits (if applicable). At my firm I believe it’s 60% or 65%
And check min hours needed to go up a class year because my firm has a min hour requirement for that
Some firms don’t allow below 70%. The partners will have a lot of say. YMMV on how much you can actually make your arrangement work (i’m struggling in mine at 1650 for the year at a 2000 minimum firm).
Definitely a concern of mine is not meeting a higher requirement even if reduced. Is this your first year on reduced?
I feel like 1,400 is a common PT number. I see in the 1,200s less. It’s most typically a percentage of full-time, like 70% or 80%.

Asked to go part time (at around 60%). I didn’t meet any opposition, but flagging that most big law firms don’t always respect boundaries, especially if everyone is underwater. Even if you’re part time, people will still expect you to be a team player.
