Recently received an offer from Ogletree to do only class action work. It'll be a big change for me, I'll be starting as a fourth year. Double my current salary, etc.

What will this be like? It's more of a niche, but lucrative, part of their practice, right? Will I really get good WLB like they claim? I have a nice 40 hour a week job right now, no billables.

Same!

I can't speak to them as a firm, but about 80% of my practice is wage and hour class litigation and it's been a great fit for me. Happy to chat if you'd like to DM. It does have the usual trappings of litigation - unpredictable schedule, plaintiff's lawyers hell bent on ruining your weekend, and some insured work dragging your rates (at least at my firm). Great opportunities to cross sell counseling work though.

I agree with the salary increase. But I think the WLB will not be that great. Still depends on your department though.

Does anyone have suggestions for what a salary should be for a Digital Marketing Analyst | Paid Social & Performance Media? I have 1 year of experience, the job asks for 0-1 year of experience. I feel I over meet the qualifications in some areas and just meet them in others. The recruiter said 50k is the salary the company is offer. I know I can negotiate. What are your thoughts on what the salary should be?
