Any book recommendations on change management?
May I know what is the notice period if one resigns in infy during the first 6 months of joining? I am a lateral resource and they hired me in June, but they have no projects related to my tech and want me to take weird roles.. seems they are hiring to increase employee count and cross training most. just looking for options..

Not particularly. Are you at a large company?
In that case, I would try to stick it out a year and see if things get better over time as you develop deeper relationships with your internal business clients.

It depends and some of that comes from the executives down. Our executive team really wants legal involved and sets the example that we’re all a team working toward a common goal. They don’t pit the business against legal. I have friends where that isn’t the culture and legal is seen as a “problem.”

I’ve got limited experience - two and a half years after twenty in private practice - but that’s not been my experience.
It certainly feels 1000% less thankless than when I was in private practice.
Yes it can be, because unlike when you are at a law firm, you’re no longer revenue generating and part of the “front office”. But I didn’t go in house to be a star of the show. I went in house to have a life.
It depends A LOT on the company culture. I’ve been treated well and I’ve been treated like trash.

Also depends a lot on how you view your role at the company.
Agree with A1 depends on culture
Mostly people are professional/respectful. I’m a litigator so I understand why the business folks aren’t thrilled to be talking to me. But overall it’s been fine.
I think it depends on what you are practicing in house. Im labor/employment, EEO and HR and the HR/personnel colleagues of mine seem really appreciative of my advice… But I am in a silo with them and don’t do much with the other in house legal people… who I know feel burnt out and unappreciated from time to time.
I’ve been in-house at a medium-size bank’s trust department for about a year now. I get much more praise from outside counsel than I do from the executive team. Though, I mostly work with the executive team during messy situations, so it’s probably a “no news is good news” type of mentality/culture at the executive level.
I think it depends on the department you ask. HR, Accounting, Security all love legal. Sales… not so much…
