Work life balance, good culture, nights and weekends off, able to take medical leaves (continuous and intermittent) without fear of repercussions, job security (not up or out or layoffs). I’m at a large below market firm and I have no desire to move to a market firm and all the negatives that come with it.
What firm pls
Speaking from personal experience… if you were desperate and had nothing else lined up. But also if the culture and learning opportunities seemed genuinely nice and worth it.
Below market pay should equal below market requirements. I.E. you better be working less. The only other circumstance I’d take a job with below market pay is if I was pressed in some other way - like no other offers and an untenable current situation (either no job or toxic job). But even then, I’d probably only use it as a springboard for a better opportunity in a year or two.
My hours requirement would need to be reduced by the same percentage that my salary was.
Learning opportunity, switch fields, better work life balance, lower hour requirement, remote work
Partner opportunities with a ciew to developing practice and then jump
If you are the owner of the firm^_^
None?
“Below Market Pay” as in the Big Law scale du jour or whatever the market rate is for an attorney of one’s vintage in a specific practice area in a specific market?
A lot of people would crawl over broken glass to get something somewhat close to the former. For those that aren’t paid much, taking a pay cut isn’t an option worth contemplating.
