Would you change jobs strictly based on pay and the fact that yearly reviews are not in place, or would you consider benefits, bonuses and the fact that you have tenure in the company and work remote?

Definitely the latter.

Both are a consideration, but I promise you can find those perks somewhere else that will pay you more. Tenure is great but at this point you’re underpaid. It doesn’t hurt to passively look until you spot a great role and go for it.

I would consider bonuses, tenure, and being remote

I have been with the firm 8 years and every year it's a struggle to get the raise. No protocols or structure in place. Also, besides my years of experience, I obtained my AS Degree in Legal Studies in August, 2023 and registered through the Florida Bar. I think it's time to move on to opportunities that enable room for growth and salary compensation.

The latter but I would be actively trying to find something better.

I recently accepted a position with a new org. One of the benefits I asked about with offer was the parental leave policy and was told (in writing by HR) 16 weeks paid after 1 year, which is as good as you can hope for in US. Now I’ve been sent the employee handbook to review/sign and it says only 12 weeks, which is less than the org I’m leaving. What might my recourses be to negotiate 16 weeks when the time comes? Also, should I be viewing this is a red flag?

I started working for a new law firm, much larger than the firm I was working for previously. The main attorney that I work under had noticed some mistakes I was making (I am a NY paralegal who took this position with the understanding that they’d be teaching me NJ and NYC real estate). Anyways, the attorney decided to tell the HR manager about the mistakes I had been making. Rather than HR discussing with me, the manager told my dramatic coworker to tell me..how should I handle this? Very hurt!
