Considering an in-house position at a firm client (firm is not aware of my interest), and I have worked directly with the AGC that would be my supervisor. Thoughts on reaching out to the AGC directly to convey interest?

What is AGC’s rapport like with your supervising partners? Be careful...

Caution and discretion are well-advised. But if you’re really interested, might be worth taking the chance and discussing with the AGC, asking them to keep it confidential. When I was in a similar position, my (now-boss) was very careful to protect our little secret from the firm, despite the close ties. There is still honor in this profession and people doing the right thing! I saw a similar scenario at the firm when we were evaluating a lateral — we refused to make an informal inquiry of a contact at the other firm, to protect the lateral.

I thought some firms (like Kirkland) have ethical walls set up to protect associate candidates considering in-house gigs

Is the in-house position being advertised?

Yes, the position is posted publicly on the client’s website and job search engines

Additional Posts in In-House Counsel

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
