I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company. The position is pretty much generalist, but I get the impression I'd be working mostly on SaaS and partnership transactions.

How common is it to eventually make $400k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!
