I transitioned to practice support after big law and trying in-house at two large companies. I LOVE it. My work is interesting, but low stress and I have a lot of independence. I work 9 to 5 with no weekend work and my compensation is higher than most in-house roles ($250K -$300k depending on the firm and seniority). I feel like the partners value my contributions and treat me well (honestly better than when I was a senior associate). It can be a hard a gig to find though and the roles don’t open up often.

May I ask what type of firm you are in without giving too much away? I ask bc I was thinking about moving into a practice manager role at a V10 that was originally described to me as needing senior level experience, but was later told they polled the market and wouldn’t pay over $200k. The person eventually in the role was also very stressed out a lot of the time but I think that mostly had to do with partner personalities.
Though I’m not sure if we are talking about similar roles. Is the practice support that you are doing still billable work?

Thank you so much for sharing. Sounds like a dream.
