For those that went in house with an insurance company how many years of experience did you have and how is it? Frankly it seems attractive to me: slightly to better salary, no billables. Nor am I attracted to achieving any kind of “status” with my career. A solid six figures to live life is pretty much the goal at this point

I can only speak to going in-house into claims, so YMMV if you’re going into the company’s legal department. I went in after 3 years. I would say on average most people coming in have around 5 years. Usually they’re associates coming in from ID firms.

The culture at my company is great. Job is just as intellectually challenging/stimulating as being an associate attorney, if not more so as you are more involved in litigation/resolution strategy than your typical associate attorney at an ID firm might be.

Salary is generally competitive to associate positions at ID firms despite being expected to work far less (40 hours a week, no billables. And in my experience the benefits are much better in house (401k matching, better health plans, PTO, etc.).

Same.

I worked gov pub defender for 6 months; ID firm 6 months; just went in house with 1 year exp.

I loved my firm; but working 40 a week with 401k match is clutch.

I had 10 years in the legal field but none in insurance. Similar goals. Sometimes the bureaucracy sucks. The hours can for sure be more than you expect, but no billable hours, decent benefits, good pay and stable/dependable work.

Any advice on a first year trying to transition from family law to in-house? I always thought family law was my path, and used to enjoy it, but it’s not the direction I want to head in anymore. I don’t think I even want to continue with any litigation work. I’m having a hard time finding firms that are hiring entry level associate positions that don’t require at least 3+ years experience in-house. Should I start at a business law firm to get experience working with corporations first?

I worked FT as a paralegal and went to law school in the evening. I recently interviewed at a small ID firm in employment law with about 9 attorneys. They asked for a writing sample. I dont have anything recent but provided what I had from last yr in a legal writing class, it was not enough for them. I became licensed this May so I dont have an array of motions to pick from. Then they asked for my undergrad transcript, at this point, I am now annoyed They are not Biglaw. Are they going overboard
