Interview process: be prepared to answer hypos. You don’t have to know all the substantive law areas, but have a sense of key issues (especially privacy and competition). Think out loud, explain your reasoning. Read the blogs of whatever product/group to get a sense of what they’re currently building, and read the legal news to know the legal risks that are currently facing that product (big consumer class class action litigation? Active privacy regulatory investigation in Europe? Etc.)

Comp: Associate is L6, Counsel is L7. Look at SWE and Product Manager on levels.fyi to get a broad sense. In general, comp will be more cash and less equity than those postings, but roughly comparable. L6 range in VHCOL is roughly $250-$270k base, and $250-500k equity. You can always negotiate, though unless you have a compelling and unique situation, don’t expect much movement. But you can probably get $20k or more in additional equity and/or signing bonus.

DM me, happy to discuss more.

Thank you so much! Very informative.

Can you share you experience in terms of work life balance vs big law? Working nights and weekends? Vacation? I need to get away from the billable hours for my sanity and not expecting a walk in the park by any stretch of the imagination but would like some consistency in terms of working hours.

I work for an ins. Company for 3 years as a case manager. I started at 70k, and have met goals and performed well, meeting all expectations required. I now only make around 75k. Recently another teammate, who has only been here for 3 months was offered between 80-85k to retain her, but she declined to make 6 figures as a COO. I, in-turn, am asking for an increase in salary. We just started a specialty program where I am doing 2-3 times the expected amount of work and now EXCEEDING
