If it’s a smaller firm or even a smaller midsized firm that isn’t out of the ordinary. I’m corporate but I started at $125k at a boutique and then lateraled to a larger midsized firm and am now a second year at $140k.

Depends on your market. Google a salary calculator to figure it out. Apowermood on social media has some good ones, if you're on tiktock or Instagram.

I’m a fifth year at a small firm in a major city and I don’t even make $115,000 so it really depends on a lot of different factors.

Yeah, I’m a 6th year at a small firm in a major city, and I wish I made $115,000. Small firms don’t really have scales, I’ve found. Also, in terms of bonus, I came to my current firm in late summer/early fall. I got a similar holiday bonus after three months in 2019 as I did for all of calendar year 2020. Yea, I know, pandemic. But that’s just an illustration of small firm situations.

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.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree.

I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?
