Hi! I have two offers and I’m not sure what to do. One is with a small firm that serves as outside counsel to medical practices (leasing, employment issues and acquisitions are primary work load) and the other is in-house for a pharmaceutical company (managing outside counsel, vendor contracts, privacy). The firm pays much better (1800 hours, flexible wfh) but I feel like the experience in house would go further in becoming a GC down the road. Please help!

Cognizant put my candidature on hold after both rounds of interviews and HR ended up telling me that it’s coz of my current CTC. They will interview more candidates and accordingly get back to me . As of now, my candidature is “on hold”.

I was told that they’d have to give me a higher designation to justify my kind of salary. Right now my YOE fall in Manager band. How true is this?

The interviewer asked me my current CTC only and no discussions on expectations have happened till now.

I have just scheduled a final round interview for a design strategist role (my first two interviews were behavioral with two potential teammates and then the team lead).

Anyone have any professional development/leadership books they’d recommend? Doesn’t have to be lawyer or in-house related specifically, just something you found helpful. I just finished Deep Work and found some aspects helpful, but others not applicable to in-house counsel life.

Sorry for cross-post but is in-house a feasible exit option for attorneys with the federal government?

Help! In my first in-house role (very recent) and I’m interviewing law firms to hire new outside counsel. I’ve been practicing for 6 years but I’m new in my role and still getting over the feeling of being under a partner’s thumb all the time so I’m afraid I’ll be too deferential to the partner of the firm we’re interviewing. Any tips or advice? And generally, what are some things I should be weary of when interviewing them, broadly speaking?

Any insights on reporting time spent on each project and challenges requested by the manager? Thanks!

How is working for Amazon as a more generalist corporate counsel in terms of hours and culture? Is the culture toxic and cutthroat? Does Amazon seek to fire x% each year?

What’s the consensus on dress code for a virtual interview? Is a suit too formal? Maybe no tie?

Manager (VP) mad that I didn’t include her on a call with other Legal VPs earlier this week, despite me not organizing the call.

Is it just me or is my Manager just being difficult?
