I got an offer from an F100 company that’s below market. The company recruiter says it’s non-negotiable. But when I asked for the salary band for my position, they said “there’s definitely room for growth” which makes me think I’m not high on the band. They also said on average most people got 2% raise yearly, which makes me think I’ll be stuck at that salary without substantial raises. Should I trust the recruiter? I really like the company and future coworkers. But 6-figure pay cut.

A friend of my approached me with this. She is being asked to do freelance work for a b2b company. Releases, white papers, blog projects. She’s being asked her rate. She’s been out of the freelance biz so long, she doesn’t know. Thoughts?

The candidates mostly say that I am looking for salary based on market standard.

Even after lot of insights gathered, no one can define the market standard with exact formula, because the term is very vague.

So, what should we do if candidates say "As per market standard"

How do referrals work?
If I get a referral from someone and I apply, then can I still reach out to a recruiter on LinkedIn expressing interest in the role? And do I let them know that I already applied? I’m sure they get tons of messages so I want to write something that won’t be overlooked. Any advice is appreciated:)

Those who were denied this year....were you given any reasons? What was your partner support like?

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?

I am currently in litigation firm. I’m tired of firm life. I am looking into moving in house. I am seeing a few insurance companies looking for litigation counsels. How is a litigation counsel role different from claims adjuster who manages outside counsels?

Had anyone worked as an in-house counsel in a startup and then moved to a law firm or another company? Was wondering how the transition looks like after working in a startup. Will it be hard to find a job in a midsize company later? Thank you!!

Is there a type of in-house work that’s more focused on legal research/legal questions/dilemmas b/w law and ethics? Just finding commercial work to be boiling down to "be the literate person in a room full of people pretending to be illiterate"…

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.

My question: how soon is too soon, and will making another switch in-house within the next year look bad?

Interviewing at a late stage startup. During screener with internal recruiter, was told base would be X. Halfway through interview process, recruiter says that base is actually 10% less than X. Red flag?

Do others feel lonely in their roles? I moved in-house from a firm a few months ago, and while I recognize that the virtual nature of the work is a huge factor (I haven’t yet met my coworkers, so it’s harder to make friends), I also am in a small legal department where everyone is far more senior than me, so I don’t have any camaraderie. I’m glad to not only be working with lawyers (like at my firm), but I do miss the ease of having peers with whom I could easily make friends and chat.

When an in-house recruiter at another company cold-emails you, is it fair to ask them for the rough offer range in your initial response back (to avoid wasting everyone’s time)? Or do you owe them the courtesy of taking at least a screening phone call and asking then?

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.

Does anyone have a recommendation for some good privacy resources?

Anyone here counsel for a parent company with a lot of subsidiaries but the parent company’s legal department is really really small?

Thanks!

Does anyone have any insight on base compensation for in house counsel at Deloitte? Trying to informally figure out whether an applicant’s reported income is within Deloitte’s range or if the applicant is just over inflating current salary in attempts to get a better offer. Thanks.

Advice please - I’m happy with my pay, work life balance, and feel the job is secure. But I’m micromanaged hard and can’t seem to care. Has anyone ever gotten out of a rut like that? I’m worried about moving somewhere else and losing the positives of this job.

If you went from a firm to an in-house role, what did you say to the partners you worked with when you told them you were leaving? What type of reactions did you get? Even though turn over is high at firms of mine’s size, I’m expecting the people I work closest with to be shocked and disappointed.

Has anyone successfully managed to move from a niche in-house practice to a more generalist role? If so, can you provide any helpful tips to transition? I hav
