Industry is tricky for TC. From what I’ve seen the comparable money is really only in tech, and even in tech there are just a handful of companies where you can really get paid quite a bit. Hence the obsession with FAANG

There’s also the option of working for tech companies that are recently public/close to going public so they can afford to give you a cushy salary and you have upside with RSUs. There are tons of high growth tech companies out there besides FAANG and startups (thinking of Coupa, Docusign, Slack, Elastic, Stripe, etc.)

Negotiating a settlement. I’m at $10k, opposing counsel is at $20k. My client won’t go higher than $15k. OC has come down to 17.5k and says his client won’t budge from that. Do I offer 12.5k so we can hopefully meet in the middle at 15k? Is that how the settlement game is played? Seems dumb we can’t just say let’s meet in the middle now and be done with this. (I’m a first year, first time negotiating a settlement on my own and I don’t want to screw this up!)
