No. Just switch firms

Yeah. I did some transactional work before comp. Not for me. I prefer the litigation.

I’m 100% wfh. Some coworkers are in the office and others do hybrid. As long as you make your minimums and clients don’t complain, my bosses don’t care. They’re slowly starting to make some hearings in person in CA, not looking forward for 6 hour drives to hearings.

Attorneys fees in CA are capped at 15%. But that doesn’t affect defense work. It’s only applicant attorney’s fees that are capped. most applicant attorneys carry a caseload of 100-200 files (depending on staff support)

Hello FishBowl,

I’m in the final rounds of my interview process for a NYC Hedge fund, non tech role. The recruiter mentioned the compensation package is bonus heavy which can be multiples of base salary. Though they will guarantee a full bonus (sign on + year end) for my first year. 300k target

My current role/company is salary focused so I’m out of my element negotiating the bonuses.

What type of questions should I ask the recruiter about the bonus payouts? Vesting?

YOE 7

I’m curious to other’s experiences in negotiating outcomes. There is a job I really want, but would need 25%-30% than what they offered for it to make sense.
Has anyone successfully negotiated this large of a difference? Tips on approach and discussion?

I am almost 23 and don’t know much about the investment and savings vehicles/strategies that I should be using. IRAs, Roth IRA’s, long-term investments, how much I should be contributing/saving for financial success, etc. Any suggestions? I currently have $4,000 in savings, and a few thousand sitting in checking that I use regularly but try to not spend too much. Rent is $1600. Likely looking to go to grad school in the next 2-3 years.
