TL;DR: No thank you, I will keep the current arrangement unless you pay me a very large bonus to sign this at-will contract. Hi folks, I am a newly licensed attorney. I saw a job posting for a business law attorney for a brand new law firm offering $184k/yr (~$90/hr full time). Before I applied, I called the firm to make sure it was worth my time applying because I was not sure if I had the experience they were looking for.
