I see several posts from people asking how they can help during these times with a few extra $$$ to spend. Here is just one of many ideas.

#stepuptothetable is about helping local restaurants who are struggling during these times. I have seen numerous linkedin posts with videos where people challenge each other to step up to the table & buy meals & gift cards from their community restaurants. A great way for those of us who are more fortunate to support business & keep people employed.

I’m not sure I quite regret it, but there are many aspects of in house work that drive me crazy. If you work at even a medium sized public company, you’ll likely find the bureaucracy to be orders of magnitude more crushing than what you experienced at a firm. There also tends to be an infantalizing managerial mindset in many companies, which is an outgrowth of bosses having bosses who have bosses who report to more bosses. This can be very demoralizing. Things that could be done in a day take weeks. Then you will likely have the experience of your calendar getting filled up with calls every day - I went from very few internal meetings at biglaw to 10 or more calls a day in house, which dramatically limits the time you have to actually think through issues. You might also find that incompetence is tolerated much more at a company than at a firm (and is far more endemic), and then during difficult financial periods the people who get fired are, inexplicably, among the few competent employees. On top of all of that, you have the usual stuff about lawyers in house being a part of a cost centre, having to take instructions from idiotic salespeople who don’t have a clue, and just generally feeling as though you went from doing a high prestige role to becoming a mere cog in the wheel. All of that said, not every in house experience is like this, of course, and the very high degree of predictability and reasonable hours relative to biglaw can and often does entirely make up for everything I’ve written above.
Very good take. But I’m still very happy with my decision to go in house. Oddly, the one thing I wish I had more of is substantive work (I’m a litigator). Most of my time tends to be spent getting business people up to speed or getting their sign off on something.
Hours mostly. Work is interesting but I could make a lot more working these hours at a firm

Nope! I love in house, but I’m at a company that has interesting work, make good money, have good WLB. My legal dept is small and I’m a generalist so it’s new challenges every day.
I was a litigator in mid sized firms for 11 years before going in house.

I think there’s a lot less consistency/a lot more variety in in-house jobs than in firms. It’s easier to generalize about BigLaw than in-house. I read these comments and similar posts about regretting or disliking in-house and it’s universally people with jobs that sound nothing like mine. Just flagging as I definitely didn’t understand this when I went in-house.
