How risky is it to join a company that currently has a fractional GC (with plans to hire a permanent one later)? Not sure if I’m too reading into it in thinking its not a good sign if the company didn’t prioritize a GC hire, and the current AGCs report to a VP in Finance.

Are there any special circumstances for the company to have THAT fractional GC? If it's an owner or cofounder who can't devote full time to the company, hiring a full time GC might happen with baby steps.

I would also be a bit cautious, but at the same time…good for them that they at least have a fractional GC? Could be a sign the company is maturing.

NFW- I just had a good laugh.

We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?
