He only turned down $15k since it's between $50k and $65kcalc (or like $69k with the 100 fewer hours). Maybe you are that poor Corrik...

$15-20k is still a pretty good reason to jump ship though. Both the equity partner promise and the $10k raise/yr promise are just that, promises. Next year it's a total clean slate for negotiation. Be prepared to leave then tbh.
yeah totally. the people that convinced me to stay are people i trust, but if they screw me i will have exit options

sorry, it wasn't clear. the place i'm currently at does a "base pay" plus an "incentive target pay" if you actually hit your hours. so for example my base could be $100k and there would be another $10k locked behind me hitting my 2000 billable hour requirement for the year.

from my current salary, my current job is offering $40k more to my base, with an additional $10k if i hit my hours. I thought they were for sure going to up my billable requirement to make up for such a big jump but they kept it the same.

if i stay, the raises would be at least $10k to the base, plus potentially another $10k to the incentive (aka $20k locked behind me hitting my target).

the job that wants me is offering a straight $65k increase to my base pay for 100 less billable hours, and i don't have to necessarily hit those hours to get the full salary. they only do $5-10k raises, and it sounds like if they don't like me for whatever reason $3k is even possible. so like i said, with those general projections in mind, i stand to be in the same salary range in 3-4 years, assuming i don't make partner in that time.

non-equity partner would be a matter of course if i stick around. equity partner is a longer grind and i told my current boss i don't even know if i want that. but there is value in knowing i could end up there.

they countered. they can't match (which I didn't expect them to) but are still offering a $50k increase in salary starting jan 1 with a clearly expressed intention to make me partner early and eye me as a equity partner candidate by the next 5-10 years.

i am told partners make up to $350k a year if they are strong performers and are on their path to equity. the lower rung of equity partners still clear $600k

the firm that wants to hire me told me that raises are usually $5k -$10k annually. I asked about the path to partnership there and was told a generic it's hard work but it's there if you want it. over the last 25 years my potential boss as been with the firm, there have been two other partners only. and neither are there anymore. and she has a 7 year attorney who is not going to be partner ever.

i roughly mapped out my financial projections through 2023, and estimate by then i'll be making about the same amount of money (assuming I don't make partner by then). in the course of those next 4 years, i'd be giving up about $50k in exchange for the upward mobility expressly communicated by my current firm. and hopefully that would pay off in dividends in the years to follow, but there's never a guarantee of that.

hrrrrrrrrrrrgh

The edits to that plot point are for an early part of the game and doesn't actually matter much. Also the replacement costumes are much better.

I played the uncensored patch version on Wii U and afterwards kinda felt like the effort of hacking my Wii U for that was not worth it

my current firm (unsurprisingly) can't match but the equity partner made clear he wants to do anything he can do to try to keep me. he promised a pay bump and to reduce my hours, and talked about the path to equity partnership and how that means a salary of over 2mil.

which is nice and all but not guaranteed and is just a pretty promise that is at at least a decade and a half away, if at all.

basically it comes down to:
1) stay with a modest raise but established working relationship with a great set of bosses, with the possibility of a huge payoff by the time my kid is in college, or

2) hefty pay bump in the short term in a new field of law at a more prestigious firm that would definitely lead to better exit options. option 2 of course still has the possibility of me doing well and moving up over time, but I'm unknown and untested at the new firm, so there's that.

i think when i give notice they will make an offer to bump pay and some other accommodation to try to keep me but I'm not expecting a match. and even if they do match, the nature of law firms is eventually that will just equate to me having to work more billable hours to justify my price to the company.

but yeah I'm definitely going to see what they have to offer.

there are no penalties other than eventually dismissal of the action, either with or without prejudice. dismissed with prejudice means they can't come back and try to revive the lawsuit. without prejudice means the judge is giving them another chance to come back and revive the case but until they do the case is thrown out.

there's usually no penalty for filing a lawsuit for "wasting time." after enough bs cases, a person or entity can eventually be found to be a vexatious litigant, but this is a pretty high bar (and might not apply to TX). you might be able to request the judge issue monetary sanctions against the company if they refuse to follow court orders or seem to be acting in bad faith, but again that's a long shot.

all of the above is my understanding from California civil litigation. there might and probably will be differences in your situation.

a school friend that was at that firm recommended me to take his place on his way out. i wasn't actively looking for a new job but this fell in my lap and so far seems like a great step up in my career.

it's a different field of law though (which i can learn as i go) and i have only just recently fallen into the good graces of partners with actual clout at my current place. they'd probably up the salary a bit but definitely won't match. i am already making more than other 3rd year associates here.
