For those who left a big 4 for in house, how do the comp, hours, and work compare? I’m a senior associate, major market, likely will be partner in the next couple of years, and love the work—but I’m getting really frustrated by the comp and firm management. I’m in the early stages of thinking through various options.

Varies greatly depending where you go in-house. Hours are a huge improvement. I do zero litigation in my role and all advice and policy work. I know other in-house L&E that spend all day responding to charges and manaing litigation. My comp increased in-house.

I'm here for some advice as well. Been thinking to switch to in-house for quite some time now. Thank you in advance :)

I’m an L&E associate entering my 5th year at a mid-sized regional law firm (approx. 400 attorneys). Barred in PA/NJ. Billed 2100 last year but my requirement is 1950.
