Working all day Sunday after a long week because partner promised client an F-1 draft that I had 3 days to complete with a full additional workload since we’ve lost all except one other mid/senior. Not Big Law so not being paid close to market and did not receive a promised bonus for Q1. Not happy.

Right on track with your advice. I have interviews set up for two AmLaw200 firms next week, but looking for fully remote market paying. Also have an informal discussion with a partner at a v50. Hopefully something comes out of it. Not a traditional big law candidate but as a non-traditional 4th year corporate and securities associate I know I can get something.

Thanks for your comments helps me feel better about being ticked off.

Hey fishies, I’m having a crisis. My total comp at my current job is 190k. However, I’m bored out of my skull and my boss has made it clear there’s no chance of promotion.

How do you determine you hourly rate for freelancing? I recently got a huge salary boost.

If I were to take my salary into consideration, I’d ask for around $100 an hour. I used to think freelance should be more than my salary calculated hourly. But I think my old coworker and his new boss would scoff at $100 bucks an hour, they’re probably thinking $30-40
