They already responded that my salary request was beyond their budget and asked if I was "willing to negotiate"
I replied asking them the salary they wanted to pay


I thought that was already determined:

"Looking for a divorce attorney with minimum starting salary at $160K"

They can afford to pay that yet
can't afford an office where a
kid doesn't answer the phone
in the living room? What's
wrong with this picture.

There's a business name, did you
google it?

Yes - it appears the firm they claim to be there is actually a different firm
I have emailed them declining the interview

Hey, AoS. This is an interesting new point in your life. I think this thread of a toxic firm as theit employee, should be left completely behind as a story in itself, and a new thread started with whatever you go thru working for yourself and starting fresh.

JMHO. But leaving that nonsense behind was the best thing you've ever done, and I get reminded of how nasty it was every time I see this thread.

The past as prologue.

Good, I was getting worried. The
whole thing stinks.

When evaluating a job offer, a great many have no idea how important benefits are, and how valuable they can be. Health insurance, 401K match, pension, profit sharing, paid vacation, can easily be worth a third of your salary. If you aren't getting any of those, and a different job offers them, usually the benefit laden job is actually better in the long run. Of course the devil is in the details. I don't think you erred in not going after this Brooklyn job, as it did sound a bit sketchy.

Yeah, no. She's not a mod here.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Lol...

But that's correct. I can't split it, but I'm sure if you asked one of them, they would do it for you. Or you could just start today. Close enough to the end of the other, though it would be interesting to have the Russian discussion in the new thread.

This is why Ace doesn't live in Manhattan.
This is 8 years ago, this guy is paying $800
a month to live in a janitors closet just
so he can live in the city. It's gotta be $1200
today. Prison cells are bigger.

I keep wondering if it would make sense to do a capsule motel in places like Manhattan and SF, but for longer term. People could mull in a common area and sleep in the capsule. $50-70 a night would not be totally cheap but better than this.
