What’s the right time to lateral as a junior associate? I’ve been at my firm for 18 months, and the work is fine but there’s zero mentorship. Is two years the standard mark before moving? I don’t want to jump too early, but staying feels like treading water.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate.

Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.
