it is nice and blue over here
still in my pyjamas though, wrestling with this bloody break report.

also had 4 recruitment agents calling me about new jobs this morning. i don't want to move, as my firm is great, my clients are (nearly all) great, and i love my boss. but... all 3 jobs are paying about 20k+ more than i currently earn........ what should i do???

How much extra work would you have to do? If hardly any, do it.
But you're asking a Jew here, I'll always say do the thing with more money. Would you be doing anything particularly different?

exactly the same thing
same hours, same work. but i could get a total bastard of a boss, whereas the current one is pretty much brilliant.

then again, an extra 20k even after being raped for more tax is still quite a lot of cash!

I'd suggest speaking to your current boss
and saying "hey, look, I can get 20 grand for doing the same job somewhere else. How much would you miss me? Speak soon!"

the problem is that if you ask for too much
and you get it, they really want their pound of flesh! i am well aware i already get paid an obscene amount, but then if it's not a competitive salary compared to equivalent firms... i don't want to have the piss taken out of me. but then, i am really happy there, it's a lovely place to work (for a law firm) and that's got to have a cash value too.

i've been having this dilemma for the last 12 months, doubtless i'll be having it in 12 months time.

Regardless of how much you get paid
you should be geting paid a competitive amount.
