I just left BigLaw as a mid-level for a generalist in-house role. It took me over a year of searching because I was a litigator in a niche practice, so most companies didn’t want me. My focus in the new role is developing general skills - contracts, transactions, partnerships, IP, etc. - but I don’t want to stay at this company for long, because the pay is subpar for an in-house role at my seniority. What’s the minimum amount of time I can stay before reasonably applying to other in-house roles?

Please help me to negotiate as i am usually bad at it.

Hi - hoping to get some insight/advice. I’ve been in house at a large private company for a year in a general corporate role (governance, M&A, etc.). I work with the global teams (so it’s a 24 hour job) and it’s relentless—non-legal teams constantly dump work they don’t want to deal with on my 2 person team, but then disappear if there’s something in their remit that I need help with. There’s also just not enough hours in the day to get my work done. Is it like that everywhere?

Why do people say you should stay 2 years/to promotion? Feel like most good exits these days want solid experience/technical skills and the longer I stay the more pigeonholed I’m getting into generalist/transformation type work. Any reason why I shouldn’t exit ASAP?

A great opportunity with a top brand has come up. I have not actively looked to make a move, but this role and brand looks really promising with a greater earning potential. Down side is I would need to relocate which I do not want to do and would be a challenge for my wife’s job . Any suggestions on how to leverage for a leveling of my current salary and role which I have been told is in the works but I have not seen any sort of movement to give me confidence that it will happen?

Received an offer to join a consulting firm as a Consultant specializing in Data Analytics and Visualization. TC is $180K. I would work with the big tech clients. My current base barely breaks $160K but the equity brings TC to about $185K however we are still private so not really $185K. I’m not enjoying the current role and am beginning to look for other opportunities internally. I do like the company culture and people. Should I try to stay and accept the lower salary or take a risk and jump?

Insight about knowledge specialist roles at Bain? TC + relationship to associates would be helpful to know

As I’m interviewing and negotiating salary, I want to be reasonable and fair. Should I negotiate 2 salaries, a lower salary for the time i work remotely in a low COL area and then a higher salary for when I relocate to the high COL area?

Super last minute but any chance any of you have some good suggestions for questions to ask a candidate in an interview for a legal ops manager position?

Thank you!!

What does an in-house employment lawyer do? I’m in private practice but thinking about applying to an in-house job. Aside from dealing with terminations, what else do you do?

Waiting to hear from an in house job and received another offer from a firm - it seems highly likely that the in house job will give an offer but would it be acceptable to reach out and inform them of this pending offer to gauge their timeline? I don’t want to keep the firm waiting or let the offer lapse.

Do you ever feel overqualified for the job? I’m a recent hire but those being hired around me are significantly less relevant experience and I feel I’m carry a brunt of the weight. How would you resolve this feeling or spread work around?

Anyone here familiar with the culture at Snap? It seems like they're trying to expand the legal team, and curious to know what it's like there.

I work at a large Fortune 50 company. Getting more and more frustrated about endless bureaucracy, constant political power struggles, lack of resources for basic compliance programs, and constantly playing whack-a-mole for issues we should be proactively addressing. Left BigLaw for better work life balance but not finding it. Is that because I’m in BigCorp? Do the same issues prevail in smaller private companies?

C/o 2020-when is a good time to start looking to jump from BL to in house?

Looking for hope/motivation: Is it possible to move in house to a private equity firm with a non-traditional background? Have an MBA (not top but nationally recognized) with several years non-practice industry (risk/compliance/research) experience prior to being barred and currently at a boutique firm doing securities/private equity/Corp. looking to possibly move as 3-5 yr associate. I know anything is possible but not coming from big law and the non-traditional background make me question it.

What’s the consensus on dress code for a virtual interview? Is a suit too formal? Maybe no tie?

I’m considering an offer and have questions: 1) how do raises work within salary bands? if I’m already at the top of the band, does that mean I get nothing until I move up? 2) what questions do I want to ask about equity (public company)? 3) is it possible to negotiate health insurance starting early? Worried I’m going to be told to leave on the spot once I give notice and will lose benefits too quickly.
