What can partner comp look like at a small (~20 attorney) boutique of mostly ex-biglaw people in a VHCOL? Obviously this is a borderline impossible question to answer without more specifics, so I’m really just looking for anecdotal experience. I’m a senior biglaw lit associate who hasn’t been able to make the jump in-house, so I’m considering a small firm option. Great people, interesting matters, decent WLB. I’m curious what could comp be like if I love it and go for partner?

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
