Would you leave your small firm as a 6th year L&E associate only making around 100 k per year for a big law offer? Also, haven’t received a bonus in two years.

Yes. Is $200k a year increase in salary not worth working 200 more hours a year?

What are hours like?

1800 annual

What’s your long term ambition?

Do you have an offer in hand? How do the hours compare and how do you feel about the partners? What kind of feel for the place did you get from the other associates?

With the caveat that I don’t know where you’re located, 100K without bonuses for a 6th year is really terrible.

Skill : Performance Testing
YOE : 8.1+
CTC : 12.4LPA+(fixed)
Current Company : PwC India
I know I am underpaid, but my leaders are forcing me to work on multiple projects, for which I am getting anxiety even before working or denying.
What is the solution? Provided I don't want to switch & increase salary just to provide more tax to govt or the work may increase more too.
I need 100% job stability, which only PwC can provide.
Genuine advice needed!!
