Our firm (AM100, historically non-Cravath scale) announced raises for only one office (of our 25+ offices), which are still well below the new DPW scale (and below the prior $190k scale). Have stated that they’ll deal with salary adjustments in all other offices in 2022. Trying to GTFO ASAP.

I actually think not using a recruiter is better as the firm won’t have to pay for 25% of your salary to a recruiter, which is now 51.25k for a first year, which you can directly ask for as a signing bonus since there’s no middleman. FWIW when I first lateraled, not using a recruiter was considered a “good” thing and thus was able to negotiate 10k signing at the time as a 2nd yr lateral (and the market wasnt hot back then).

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?

Amazon Offer- Accept or decline?

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.
