For those of you who made the jump from big law to in house, what are some questions you asked (or should have asked) that gave (would have given) you a clear picture on how your role functioned and how you fit into your new team?

What are some of the investing must-reads that you'd recommend?

Now that Facebook is Meta, I thought I’d just pitch MANGA as the new FAANG…

Buckle up, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride

I’m bicurious and definitely attracted to hyper-masculine girls. I found myself fantasizing women quite a lot. I want a serious relationship. Any advice?

all - qq I’m currently on an LoA, stuck in India due to personal reasons (on F1 OPT) right now. I have a lot of interest in teaching kids online (coding and such), could I do non contractual job teaching coding online while in India with an indian firm?

I work heavily in AWS and am looking to learn another cloud platform. I have zero knowledge of azure and gcp and would like input on which to learn. Azure would make sense since its the second largest in terms of market share, but GCP seems far more interesting and technically challenging with things like Kubernetes and BigQuery.

I recently joined citi. I have been given choice for to select superannuation as 13% of BS or 12500/- monthly or zero.

This is one time selection and not reversible.

I am already investing 1.5 lakh in 80C through SIP and EPF.

I need more detail about superannuation and is it beneficial or not?

Also is there any retirement age in IT field 🤔 (or in citi)?

Hi Folks,
Once the medical checkup is done, in how many days will I get my visa for Australia?

Anyone wear baccarat rouge?

How long did it take you to find the right position the first time you went in-house? I am 5 months into it and regretting turning down the (lowball) offer I got a couple months ago.

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.

A lot of people here seem to glamorize MANGA positions - good pay, and good WLB. There has to be a catch, right?

Did anyone have an interview with Amazon for an ACC position? And know how long after the phone screen/hypo stage they contact you? It’s been two days, I’m thinking they are going to reject me if they are taking this long?

How do you find in-house positions?

Have any one used a resume coach or service for in house job search, particularly for IP and product counsel positions? If so, how did you find a good one? Thanks!

Anyone here go in-house to Amazon from big law? If so, what kind of a pay cut can I expect to take? Currently 5th year on Cravath scale.

Any product counsel for AI-related companies here?

A client (in the banking industry) is looking for what they’re calling a software/dev ops attorney to report directly to the GC. Thinking 6th year+. Would need to be based in the south. Can provide more details if you dm me.

Midlevel corporate attorney considering an in-house offer in the wealth management space (RIA, multi family office). Work would be a mix of corporate and funds work. Interested in getting into the blockchain space long term. Would this role move me toward or away from that goal?

Can anyone refer me to the Starz/Lionsgate Legal Affairs, Counsel role? I’d be happy to send you my resume first. Thanks!

Would taking a director of legal operations position (jd preferred or a plus) make it hard to get back to practicing in a firm or another company?

Thoughts on Residuals clauses in NDAs? (Ex.: X will be free to use and disclose for any purpose the residuals resulting from access to or work with Company’s Confidentjal Info.” Refers to ideas, concepts, techniques retained in the memory of people unaided by CI. Do you strike?

Would you say most in-house roles tend to hire from BigLaw?

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?

Had two rounds of interviews for an in house role and really like the company/job. I followed up Friday regarding next steps and was told they are still interviewing and should be wrapping up soon. Advice on how to stay calm? I want the position and need to know if there’s a way to speed up the process.

Any in-house antitrust counsel willing to offer up some advice? I just started in a firm's well-regarded antitrust group. What do I do over the next few years to make myself most marketable to move in-house? And when is that move actually feasible/ideal for antitrust specialists?

Seems like I can pull work from the whole discipline (merger clearance, civil lit, criminal) — should I spread myself across all of it to maximize my skillset/marketability?

All thoughts and advice welcome. TYSM :)

I have one pro bono case that I kept when I left my firm to go in house. It’s a matter completely unrelated to my company and I have malpractice insurance through the nonprofit organization associated with the case. I’ve made clear to my client that I’m repping this client in my personal capacity. No one has asked me specifically about pro bono stuff at my company - if I know there’s no conflict of interest, is this something I should disclose? To whom should I disclose this?

Considering taking a position with a small-cap in the US trying to build their legal department. The title is standard “counsel” although the work would be with the senior leadership team and reporting to the GC in Europe. How reasonable is it to ask for a bump in title - Senior counsel or Head of Legal, US? If it matters, I am a 6th year and have been told that I will be expected to hire a junior or paralegal as we build up.

How many in house counsel are in your company? Please also share the total number of employees and company revenue for reference. I’ll start. 55 in house counsel globally for a $10b company, total employee count ~32k.
