I don’t have the support I need in my role, but I love my GC! I’ve been with the company a little less than a year and we are not going to receive approval for more heads. How long should I stay? I was really looking to stay here a long time but I know it wouldn’t be beneficial to my growth or career.

In-house resources are rough all around right now. At my company, we’ve been told to drastically rein in outside counsel spending unless we have a knowledge gap and we’re on a hiring freeze. I just hope no one on my team jumps ship in the next few months cuz everyone’s plates are already maxed out.

What other reasons can I give as I’ve just completed 9 months here and it’s too soon for any other company to take me in.

It seems like we’ve had many people join from firms today. In the in-house bowl we had a lot of people speaking about F50 who don’t actually work there and the info/advice was often not accurate.
