Hello everyone! I am currently a state civil attorney but want to pivot to in-house in the future. However, I have been told by a few attorneys that staying at my state job will make it more difficult to go in-house. Would you guys agree with that? Should I try to go private first and then in-house? Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!

First 2 weeks having people under me and I already started questioning everything. Fuck me 😀

ADVICE NEEDED: Any GSAPers secure funding from the firm when you’re also going up for promo? I’m afraid that leadership won’t want to promote me to M (right around the corner for me) if they know I’m on the way out to school. Thoughts? Am I overthinking this?

Started biglaw without using a monitor, as I’m still not settled in an apartment. I’ve made a ton of mistakes during closing, and feel very bad about my speed and errors since I think a monitor would have helped. But was this a huge mistake, does anyone else work off of their laptop sometimes ?

I’m thinking of taking an full time opportunity I’m not particularly excited about to get out of my current role. My interest lies in the compliance/legal field but it’s very difficult to get fellowship opportunities at my current company. I have a CFE certification, but no real experience in the compliance area. I was thinking I could do a part time or contract job in compliance to get a little exposure and break into this area..but I’m not sure where to start. Can anyone provide any tips pls?

Hello! I'm wondering if somebody here is looking for bilingual (english-spanish) HR staff (HRBP, Talent Development, etc) remote in the US?

What are some companies that hire attorneys fully remote with 3-5 YOE? Even if there are not openings currently, I am curious to know so I can keep my eyes peeled for openings that may come up.

Has anyone changed areas of law while in-house? If so, how did you do it and what was that like?

End of Year Review is coming up. This is my first one in-house and im not great at selling myself. Anyone have suggestions for what things should be included? I do litigation and haven’t really had a real victory. All cases have been settlement candidates and the clients are happy but feel like that’s not enough to stand out.

Three months in as corporate counsel (out of big law) at a non-faang pub tech company and am starting to feel disillusioned. Some aspects are exciting, but others feel more administrative/fixing other dept’s mistakes/being the scapegoat. Starting to worry if commercial lawyers are getting more marketable experience and/or have better career prospects going forward? Thoughts?

Is there a standard amount of time to hear back after second round of interviews with a panel of legal and business?

Anyone go from litigation in-house to in-house corporate? I'm in-house litigation now, but I realize that those roles are harder to come by, and so wondering if I should get ahead of myself sooner rather than later and jump to corporate to expand my skill set and set up for more exit opportunities in the future. 10 YOE in Lit.

How long did it take y’all to find your in-house job? I’m smart and hard working. Just tired of the biglaw grind and ready for a more humane job. I can’t seem to get ANY traction with in-house job apps😭 really regretting going to law school at all. Feels like I’ll be on the exhausting law firm treadmill forever.

Love that I can actually call out sick from work now that I’m in house (vs before in big law)!

Regretting moving in-house. I was an 8th year associate at a v10 biglaw firm but moved in house six months ago and am regretting it. The pay has been hard to stomach but the bigger concern is that the hours and work are not what I expected. Is it too late to go back to a firm since I was so senior when I left? Should I just stick it out a while longer and then find a new in house job? Appreciate any advice.

I'm a 3rd-year corporate transactional attorney with a private firm. Around 50 attorneys, which is as big as it gets for the state I'm in. I've become disillusioned with the partnership track career path fairly quickly and don't think it's for me. Before taking a large pivot and leaving the law entirety, I've thought about going in-house.

(1) Are there any downsides to going in-house too early?

(2) Would it make it more difficult to go back to private practice if I don't like that experience?

I'm thinking of moving inhouse from biglaw. Do you worry about job security since going inhouse? While biglaw sucks, I never have to worry about losing my job for anything other than my own performance.

In house counsel: I’m a senior associate in a litigation boutique with significant “first chair” experience (50+ depositions, 50+ dispositive motions, first and second chair trial experience, briefed and argued cases before court of appeals and state supreme courts, etc.) I’m looking to move in-house but struggle to get past the initial resume screen. Is my firm name holding me back? Would I be well positioned to move to a bigger name firm before trying to move in-house?

Currently negotiating compensation GC role for a real estate developer based on NYC.

Anyone have any thoughts on compensation targets?

Anyone have rough TC numbers for google counsel (in Chicago - does Google alter TC based in cost of living?). Any downsides to being located in Chicago? Thanks!

Hey there! Interested to know if anyone has worked with an executive or career coach. If yes, did you find the experience helpful? Why did you go and what did you learn/do? Thanks!

Lately, there has been a lot of “shopping around” by business units for the legal advice they want to hear. One has now gone over my head twice to the GC to get a legal “okay” that I advised against. “Tattling” on me first saying “no.” These power plays are really frustrating. We have a culture of “getting the client to YES,” but it’s hard for me to do that when I know the “yes” will bring certain liability to us. Is there an effective strategy to succeeding in this type of atmosphere?

How do you diligence a potential employer besides basic searches? Early stage Silicon Valley biotech company with a handful of public articles confirming its latest funding round.

Has your GC ever lectured/criticized you about how to talk to business development? Had BD ask me if we can accept a vendor contract “as is” after I spent a bunch of time making edits on a Friday evening due to the “urgency” of the contract. I told BD certain provisions I simply couldn’t sign off on (e.g. unilateral indemnification), but that id defer to their judgment call. Now GC wants to talk to me😩

Are there any recruiters for in house positions in this bowl? I’m a third year data privacy associate at a midsize firm and I’m looking to work somewhere that does a lot of consumer marketing (likely a retail brand?). PM me if you’ve got some leads you’d be willing to share! TIA.

When's a good time to jump/transition between in house roles? I'm currently in house counsel (3 years big law, 3 in house). I was told by my manager that senior counsel would not be possible (unless current senior counsel) steps down. I'm comfortable here but also nervous about stalling my own career . How long can I stay in my associate counsel role before it looks bad on my resume? I'm looking to start a family so wouldn't mind staying for 2/3 more years.
