Read More“Hi Shauna, [AmLaw 100 law firm] called me with a job and salary offer not long after you and I spoke. They offered $120k + $20k bonus, and said there is some room to negotiate. I told them I needed some time to think about it, and they had no problem with that. One of the partners kindly offered to put me in touch with a few of their associates to get some perspective, so I’ll be speaking with them tomorrow. I also discovered that a former [government] colleague went to work for [the same law firm] for a year, so I’m hoping she’ll respond to my LinkedIn message and give me some insight over the weekend. I’ll keep you posted on my decision. Thank you as always!”
