I have a remote interview with a GC at a start up. Tie or no tie? The GC is a former big law partner. I see a lot of people say no ties for an interview with a start up, but I didn’t know if the calculus changed if it’s with legal and a former big law partner.

Compromise: wear a tie, but a really ugly and unfashionable one.

Additional Posts in In-House Counsel

Starting a new position in a few weeks and have an opportunity to speak with my future boss before starting. Is there anything I should ask before starting that wouldn’t already have been covered in the interview? I was thinking about asking if I should read up on anything before starting, but I also don’t want to impose obligations on myself if I don’t have to. Fwiw going from firm to in-house. TIA!

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.

Currently working on a three person team in a larger GC group. I lateraled from a different group that did not pay attorneys on an attorney scale.
