Has anyone used the Portfolio Group?
Hi Everyone,I need assistance deciding whether to give up my search for in-house counsel and start something else. I applied for over 1300+ positions since August 2021. Since then, I have gotten some interviews but no job. I have a unique background Accounting 8+ years, Law for 4+. I don't get much feedback from interviewers. LinkedIn if background helps. https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-jaweed-esq/ Thanks!
Do you go to a good school as well? You left that one part off of your credentials and it's a big part.
Biglaw if the obvious answer if you can swing it. Tech trans/commercial agreements, IP, general corporate, m&a, and privacy generally gives you the broadest exit options in house. Unless you have a specific industry you would prefer I wod go with those. Looking at 3-5 years exit point to in house.
People may get into biglaw from your school but how many is important. Fine if you don't want to share the typical rankings but know that if you're going to a T2 or lower top 10% may not be enough for biglaw.
Also if you're in a small-mid state you may have issues with 200k+ inhouse if you stay in the state. Might have to head for bigger markets for that much.
I am still new to the in house world, but it took me a while to break in from a small, regional boutique firm. Honestly I think with your background you’ll have far less trouble. I suspect that things like law review won’t matter nearly as much in house as they would in a firm, but I could be wrong. I think your ability to rely on your business experience will be a huge asset if your goal is in house work, so I’d focus far more on that. Bonus points if you can find job opportunities in industries or fields you already understand. As far as salary that’s going to be industry/company/region specific, but I don’t think $200k (at least total comp) is outlandish, especially for someone who has significant experience. The challenge, I think, will be how you quantify your business experience since (I think) many companies base attorney title (and therefore salary) on years in practice. Good luck!
You’ll have the most opportunities to go in house coming from a a biglaw firm and having a corporate practice.
