How did current in-house attorneys find their positions? I am currently in big law with 3 years of experience. Seems that most recruiters can only help me lateral to other big law firms.

thinking about studying law .. i feel this would be pivotal in not only my insurance career but in business overall regardless of where my career takes me . I’m 32 and have two young kids , living in Australia .. anyone here studied law later on in their career ? what would be your main advice out there ? was it worth it ? anything you would do differently?

Leaving MBB after ~18 months to join a MM GE fund as an associate on the deal team. I’m seeing some people leave MBB after ~3/4 years join PE Ops with higher comp ($400-600k+). Does Ops comp surpass deal team if you’re leaving from MBB instead of banking?

Hi Guys,

I'm going to join in NatWest group, Chennai as Wow- QA Specialist with Band 7.2.

Is promotion possible for my position within 2-3 years ? what are the employee benefits available in NatWest Group ?

Could some one please answer for this ?

Do enjoy being a PI lawyer? I'm thinking about a change. Is it stressful? Rewarding?

Every PM job posting I see in big tech/FAANG requires a MINIMUM of 5+ years experience, and a large portion even require 7+ years. Most of the associate/rotational PM roles require 3+ years and some require 5+. Yet it seems like every 24 year old I know that went to a target school is now a PM in big tech… am I the only one confused?

I recently left public accounting to join a start up. I don’t have too many connections in this world yet, does anyone have recommendations for either articles, books or other sources of information I could use to get an understanding of the startup world and how I can make the right career choices moving forward. - *I’m on the product manager side*

Thanks in advance!

Hey all, new to this bowl. Currently a Tech Recruiter and eventually want to make the transition into a HRBP or HR Generalist role.

Looking to pivot from biotech to big tech in a less technical role (bizops, analytics, implementation manager) . I have a degree from Stanford in Biology (c/o 2021) and experience leading technical client implantations, but feel like companies just see my degree isn’t finance/CS/ statistics, and throw out my application. Am I overthinking? And what certifications have you seen help boost a person’s resume?

Curently I'm an undergrad student and an MBA student. I started my bachelor's in Aug 2020, from which I graduate in Dec 2022. I started my MBA classes in Jan 2022, from which I graduate in Dec 2023. I want to apply to Amazon as an MBA intern, but it requires the following basic qualification: 3+ years of experience which occurred after completing undergrad and before starting MBA. Can I still apply if I don't meet this basic qualification? I do have 3 internship experience as a PM during ug.

After trying to find an in-house job since July, I finally have an offer at a company that I really like. Total comp is around $20-25k off from where I want to be. Equity comp may be the only way to bridge the gap but they said they don’t normally include equity comp at the corporate counsel level, which is odd. I have found that most companies do. Has anyone received equity comp in negotiations where it wasn’t originally on the table?

What software do you use to organize files company-wide? What software do you use in general? Any resources are appreciated. Thanks guys! (I’m the only in-house lawyer).

Does anyone have any recommendations for good recruiters for someone going from a law firm to an in-house position?

I went in-house at year 4 — now at year 5. I feel like my growth has stunted and I’m not learning and growing my skill set. I don’t think I was very seasoned when I went in-house, was just very burnt out from big law. Can I go back to firm life to gain more skills then go back? WLB and everything else is great. Just don’t feel like I’m growing…!

If I’m in house after 3-4 years big law, am I just stuck at 200-300k for life? Is there any upward mobility?

I feel like I’m my honeymoon period at my new job is ending. I haven’t had any negative incidents, but it just feels like the vibe has changed. Any thoughts on navigating it?

Been in house for about a year. I just found out that a new hire who has 1-2 less years of experience than me (but will have the same role/title as me) received a compensation package significantly higher than me, mostly due to the market dynamics with law firm associates’ compensation being ratcheted up the past year. Can I ask for an equitable raise mid year? And if so, how? I got rave reviews but an immaterial pay bump (3%) at year end in December.

Is it possible to move in-house from Big Law as an associate and make more money? If not, what percentage pay cut is normal/worth it?

Can you have good WLB while working in a small (<10 attorneys) legal department? I’ve only ever worked at large companies with large legal departments. I’m worried taking vacations would be hard at a very small company since there are fewer people to cover for you.

I’m currently on a secondment to a client in a lit/regulatory role and this is so much better than life at a firm, I love it here. What are the downsides that I’m not seeing? Is it just the money or are these positions just really hard to get?

Been told by two partners that my leaving as a 4th year (3.5 years behind me) is too early for my development. The job I’m taking seems great with a great GC and good team. But I’m questioning if the right decision. Won’t go back on the offer but just wondering ...

I am applying to some in-house positions at tech companies and was pressed in one screener interview to say what I thought my base salary should be. I’m curious what an acceptable answer would be?

I have 6 years experience in Big Law. Focused primarily on patent litigation. Applying to roles in the Bay Area. Primarily applied to roles focused on general litigation and IP litigation. I’ve applied to tech companies ranging from FAANG to start-ups.

Any insights welcome.

Applying for some in-house M&A jobs, and a big focus is being able to run deals. I of course feel very comfortable running deals from the corporate side and managing multiple teams, but have obviously always had an army of specialists in biglaw. How does this work in house? I’m primarily thinking from a tax perspective — I likely wouldn’t be able to structure a deal (and don’t think many of my peers could either) since we always rely on a tax team, but not sure if that is an expectation.
