If you can, why not?? I don’t think it’s required here in the US but it doesn’t stop from being offered and I wouldn’t ever not ask.. worst case anyone can say is no.

What’s a reasonable amount to ask?

Currently an associate at a mid-sized firm with “strong potential” to make partner at the end of this year. Things have been toxic for a while, but have cratered in 2021, with few signs there will be any positive changes on the horizon.

I’d assumed it would be better to job search with that title on the resume, but am rethinking my assumptions the worse things get.

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

The severance package at Meta for laid off employees almost makes it nice to be laid off depending on what your personal situation is….. personally wouldn’t mind getting 4+ months of full pay to reset and think about what’s next 😬
