For those who are looking to go in house but are married or in serious relationships, how do you go about finding an in house job ? At his current job, My husband is only able to live in our current city or a very random other one with very few roles. We don’t like our current city because it’s $$$

Sounds like you guys should pick where you want to be, and work backwards from there — unless one of you has a job they really love, that pays well, etc. But getting the relocation benefits from an in-house role in another city, then having your husband look for a new job there, might be a nice way to transition

Agree with C1. Another thing to consider is looking at companies that have offices in multiple cities. You can see the legal dept footprint based on locations listed in job postings. You could start work at the company and then switch offices when your partner secures a job at one of the alternate cities.

Pick a couple cities you’re interested in and then do some research on the companies that have a significant presence there.
