I don’t know why, but I always feel a bit uncomfortable when a friend or family member asks how much I make at my job. I earn a fair amount, not bad at all, but it’s still one of my least favorite questions. Maybe it’s because I never ask anyone about their salary, or maybe because I feel like I don’t make that much.

Do you like salary talks with your friends or family? 😊

I get that, it can feel awkward, even if you’re comfortable with what you earn. I usually avoid salary talks too; it just doesn’t feel like the kind of thing you need to compare or justify with friends or family.

You are right about that. I hate these talks and I hope I never encounter them with anyone except my partner.

Does anyone have something that turned it around? He changed? You changed so he did? Ayahuasca retreat maybe?

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company. The position is pretty much generalist, but I get the impression I'd be working mostly on SaaS and partnership transactions. I definitely think I would like the transactional work better, but I am concerned about the long-term earning potential vs. partnership. How common is it to eventually make $400k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!
