Re: Competing Job Offers
Based on the info you gave, definitely the plaintiffs' firm.
Do you like the people you work with? Do you like the work you do? Why are you even considering the second option?

I'm leaning toward staying.
My only reason for considering was a consistent paycheck, which isn't a concern now but you never know in the future.

Re: Competing Job Offers
Is the 100K not consistent/contingent on billables etc? Because 80K + 20K (Potential) Bonus doesn't seem as consistent as a straight 100K salary (+ small bonus) in my book. With the autonomy and equal salary, it sounds like your current option isn't a bad gig.Anonymous User wrote:I'm leaning toward staying.
