True. I make over $600k, and don’t work weekends. I do tend to log on after my kids are asleep, though.

The best industry is the one that you have direct client relationships in.

IMO the biggest risk with in-house is that, unlike law firms, IHC opps are all over the place. The most valuable opportunities are ones where you actually know what you would be getting.

For WLB you want a fat legal team, a chill GC and robust financials. I kid, but only kinda.

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”
