Curious to know which roles everyone is in and if you moved over from consulting. I recently left consulting for more impact, better $/WLB, but I’m not necessarily seeing it in tech. The consulting bowl hypes up FAANG so much but I’m not seeing the allure… fwiw I’m in bizops

Do others feel lonely in their roles? I moved in-house from a firm a few months ago, and while I recognize that the virtual nature of the work is a huge factor (I haven’t yet met my coworkers, so it’s harder to make friends), I also am in a small legal department where everyone is far more senior than me, so I don’t have any camaraderie. I’m glad to not only be working with lawyers (like at my firm), but I do miss the ease of having peers with whom I could easily make friends and chat.

Does anyone else’s company do “secondments”? I was asked to “look into” this? Someone who is a non attorney executive had a great idea they could save money and have outside counsel “at their disposal” 24/7 and on-site? Is that how this works? I know we spend a lot of $ on outside counsel but I don’t see how one of them having an office on-site adds much value? Maybe it’s a good thing. I am supposed to “report back.” Are they a joint employee? I was asked to advise “what this will look like.”

Do candidates for in house positions get totally ghosted after screeners even after sending a follow up email reiterating interest? Or is the lack of response a sign of no decision being made yet?

I’m in a potentially great situation but it’s new to me. I’m in the interview process for 2 companies, first I am waiting for an offer, the other knows about my other interview and is streamlining the process to get me through. I’m top 2 candidates for each according to the recruiters I am working with. If I get an offer before I finish interviewing with the second, how do I delay accepting the offer? Both will be relatively equal pay, good companies, WLB, etc. I know the bird in hand saying…
