A lot of career advice assumes people have unlimited energy outside of work. I for one, do not! I'm lazy! What’s something you’ve stopped doing professionally that actually made your career better?

I stopped going to all the after-hour work activities. There were endless happy hours and things, and we were pushed to attend and make our presence known. They don’t actually affect my career and are just a waste of time, so I stopped going.

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company. The position is pretty much generalist, but I get the impression I'd be working mostly on SaaS and partnership transactions. I definitely think I would like the transactional work better, but I am concerned about the long-term earning potential vs. partnership. How common is it to eventually make $350k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!
