Does anyone feel like they have less autonomy over when they start/end their day then their law firm counterparts of similar class year? I work in a small legal department. But I’m rigidly made to feel like I need to be in office 8AM to 5PM everyday. Outside of those hours it’s quite, but I feel like I need to explain if i arrive later one day or leave early for an appointment. This does align with my industry but feels different from the schedules of most other lawyers I know.

Just started in-house and my days are full of meetings with little time in between to analyze or process anything. Is this typical? I keep taking lots of notes but haven’t had a chance to really review and reflect on my notes, to follow up and investigate or do any strategic or legal analysis. Lots of on the fly work for now. Maybe it’s like this just the first few days where I’m getting the lay of the land? But I suspect it’ll be like this for a while… Any tips appreciated.
