I’m a BigLaw IP lit associate and I’ve applied for an in-house lit counsel role at a tech company. I’m a 4th year and they’re looking for someone in my range to help senior lit counsel. I’m looking for more info on in-house lit roles, particularly at companies with big enough departments to have more junior lit counsel (although not so big that it’s an entire lit team). My hope is a little better balance and fewer nasty meet&confers. Anyone made this transition? Am I delusional re balance?

How can I pivot from working as an ad agency art director to a commercial director/DP? I’m trying to get on as much commercial production experience as possible in my current role to build up experience.

My original thought was to work my way up to Creative Director and pivot from there but I’m not sure if that’s the correct route. Any advice is appreciated!!

The Woke Left: Follow science, take reasonable precautions, and give everyone healthcare The High IQ Right: Bill Gates and George Soros are trying to chip us and inject the population with a vaccine, causing mass extinction while Donald Trump uses encoded messages to save the world from people like Hillary Clinton, who is running a pedophile ring out of a pizza shop as the government produces “weather weapons” and secretly puts chemicals in the water to turn its people and its frogs gay

I don't know about other Big 4's.
