Within the Texas biglaw sphere, do public or private M&A associates have better exit options, particularly in the Houston market? I’m a second year and like public and private work about equally but might want to make an eventual move in house.

Nuanced question but shoot me a DM and I’ll respond soon

Short answer is both are good. Private is better for PE/portfolio exits. Public also good for securities compliance or large company in-house

Thank you!

No need to shoot me a dm! All depends on what type of in house role/client you’re looking for. Happy to answer any questions on here!

Thanks! Not quite sure what in house role would be a good eventual fit yet. I’m actually pretty happy at my firm now. What types of roles have you placed private M&A associates in vs public M&A associates, and about how many years of experience before going in house on average?

I’m contracting with a company in an admin role, but sometimes I’m asked to do projects that would normally be outsourced to a marketing or design company like designing a flyer for example. It’s not in my job description, but I have the skills to do this work and so why not ask me to do it? Is it out of the question to ask if I can be paid for that work under a separate fee as a consultant or something? Is that even possible?
