How much is everybody working? This is year 3 of being in house. At my job I am 50% commercial agreements, 25% product counseling, 25% privacy. I definitely have crunch periods depending on what the business is doing or what privacy issues are happening but I’d say in an average week i have three 6-8 hour days of work/meetings and the other two days are 0-4 hours of work. It seems like everyone i talk to IRL is working a lot more or fibbing about it?

I have a speech impediment and can't do presentations very well; my employees think this counts as preferential treatment. I would LOVE to be rid of this but it's an actual disability and I don't think anyone really understands that

I’m just looking to meet new people. As I’ve gotten older making new friends has gotten harder because so many of my friends have gotten married & went off in other directions & moved away. During the work week I have no time to do anything social. And weekends are lonely. So I’m just reaching out to make new friends. I’m 41 years old, woman & I’m a middle school reading teacher. Feel free to reach out!

6th year biglaw associate in HOU. Long considered a move in-house but overwhelmed on where to start. Any recommendations on TX recruiters specializing in-house? Also planning to check LinkedIn and other resources. Welcome advice on searching generally, resume (haven’t touched since LS), etc. Interested in HOU and DAL (though not trad energy) and my practice is roughly split between M&A/PE transactions and capital markets (SPACs, trad IPOs, HY, Section 13/16 reporting, etc.). Thanks in advance.

Anyone here counsel for a parent company with a lot of subsidiaries but the parent company’s legal department is really really small? I’m wondering if a small legal department for a large company is more of a pro or con? On one hand I suspect it’s less organized, on the other it might be a great leadership opportunity. Any insight? Thanks!

From the position of those that have already made the in-house switch, would love some gut reactions/checks to my situation.

Class of 2020, started at a V80 in a regulatory practice last January. Recently lateraled to a V30 this past summer (have only been at new firm 3-4 months). Already know I don’t want to do the big law thing long term, and would really love to move in-house.

What does "unlimited" PTO really mean? Accepted an in-house position. What's an acceptable amount of vacation time to take per year? (I'm coming from private practice where I could take vacation whenever I wanted as long as I hit my billables). Generally, I take two 1.5 week vacations a year and a smattering of long weekends (like a Friday or Monday off here and there). Obviously will not take that much time in the first year of a new job, but hope to get back to it. Reasonable?

Any in house pharma willing to provide some insight on what qualifications are most valued? In medmal lit and trying to switch now.

Looking to transition to in house. I’m a lit attorney and I’m trying to leverage my skills, getting some interviews but yet to land something. I do some privacy work, but not enough to really be a draw for a privacy counsel role. Would a CIPP certificate actually give me any value when trying to transition or is it kind of like a toss off? Nice to have but doesn’t really matter?

Received an offer last Friday and I have a week to accept it. Aside from comp, role, culture, size/structure of legal team - are there any questions I should ask before accepting?
