just started a new job with a small plaintiff's firm a
month ago. Like the people and the work. The money isn't
the greatest, but I can support my family. Out of the
blue -- and unsolicited -- I get contacted by a comparable
firm wanting to know if I have any interest in joining it.
I blew off the initial inquiry, but the firm has been
persistent and I took a meeting. They're willing to offer
a salary increase of 40% over what I'm making now. Plus a
percentage of the fees I generate.

If this opportunity had reared its head before I took my
current job, I would have jumped on it. However, I feel
that if I pursue the opportunity now, I am betraying my
current employer.

Ultimately, my duty is to my family, but at what cost?
