[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leaving govt after a long long time - newly empty nester (woman) - have non equity partner offers

Is this worth trying? I don’t need the money - it would certainly be nice but I think there are jobs I could get that would pay closer to a govt salary and lifestyle would be okay.[/quote]

Completely depends on law firm  - what does NEP mean, is there a path to equity, what is the pay and how much if any depends on originations, what is the expectation on you to bring work in, how do they support laterals, do they have work for you, etc etc
And depends on you and what you want![/quote]

If she’s already an empty nester and doesn’t need the money she might not care about oath to equity.  But definitely worth figuring out what work they have for you and if you’ll be expected to bring in business.  Sending you to conferences to schmooze and talk and hang out govt credentials out to entice clients is one thing, but if they’re gojng to base your comp on what you actually pull in (eat what you kill), that may not be worth the stress for you.  But some firms already have the clients but need the expertise to fill out an existing practice or something like that — this could be a very cushy path to retirement for you.[/quote]

PP here considering a firm, for the offer I think I’m leaning towards there will be some business development but more in terms of using my expertise to expand work with existing clients and then having me oversee that work in an area where I have a lot of expertise (niche regulatory practice).[/quote]
