Would love to hear people's opinions on an offer (6th year in Biglaw, my first in house job): 200k, 30% bonus, no equity now but a commitment to a promotion to a senior position in 2 or 3 years (pay band would be min. $240, 30%, w/ equity). MCOL, 4 days a week in office. Report direct to the GC, good vibes, midcap pubco in strategic industry, lead counsel for a $1B business unit (new position). Had my head turned though by a similar role at a RIA with $100k extra base, but hate finance.

Seems like a good gig. But, I wouldn’t assume the promotion is a guarantee. Things can change in-house pretty quick and handshake promises can fall through.

Both really good offers. What industry?

Take this job for the experience alone. Get the commitment for promotion in writing if you can in case you like working there.

Thank you in advance!

Seems fine for MCOL. Great job!

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

How should one properly calculate total comp? Base + bonus + stock options? Should you only include options that vest that year or include the total $ granted that will vest over 4 years?
