Might be good to ask how they leverage outside counsel? For example, do they use outside counsel for heavy diligence or just drafting? I'm sure you've seen in-house counsel at any of your PE clients working nights and weekends (like I have), so just try to get as much color as you can on the actual work you'd be doing.

My WLB is worse than it was in biglaw. Greater responsibility, much broader role internally and externally. Comp should be high and skewed toward large bonus.

How does comp compare with biglaw considering WLB is worse?

Can anyone help me wrap my head around this post Series C start-up equity offer? It’s an IP director position, the the base is $170 with 10% bonus (both lower than I was expecting). There’s also an equity component: 0.15% of current fully diluted equity. This equates to about 30000 shares at a strike price of $2. They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer.
