I'm an in-house counsel at a national company. Our GC is leaving. I’m the only other in-house attorney, and I’ve only been here for 4 months. I like the job. Previously, I was a 6th-year associate.
The CEO asked me to stay and implied a larger role, but doesn't have a clear picture of what that looks like. Asked for my help in redefining. Even unsure as to timing or whether we'll hire another GC. Questions for Fishbowl: (1) benefits or pitfalls? (2) questions or requests you'd have for CEO?

Hello everyone, is there any job vacancies for finance manager and sales manager.?

How long after making partner did you buy a new home? Value? If you didn’t why not?

I have an offer from EY. They rejected my counter offer for a higher salary but accepted my counteroffer for a higher sign on bonus. They gave me a few more days to think about the new offer. I want to know how likely would they be willing to renegotiate if I tell them I still want something closer to my original counter offer.

Hey guys,

This is an embarassing question to ask but every time I go on a date, guys keep pestering me how am I single and 34. I am too exhausted to answer it.

I know the stereotype is that something is wrong with us. I have days where I can't keep my chin up anymore

Coolest things to do in Rome for four days next week? First timer

We are launching a DEI Taskforce and one if our objectives is to benchmark our diversity data with industry metrics (e.g. gender, age, race, etc). I've done quite a bit of research and can't find what I'm looking for. Any suggestions would be helpful.

What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest! It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

What’s your old fashioned recipe, down to the garnish?

Does anyone else have a partner that says Yes to everything even though it’s you who is going to wind up working the weekend? I always flag stuff with skepticism regarding timing but (continued)

Would anyone be willing to critique a draft of my About Me bio! Happy to do the same.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. I had 10 slots to choose from. I took the first slot available. Three were one day earlier this week and the rest are next week. Does it look good (or desperate, lol) on my part that I took the first time or should I have waited until next week so that I would be fresher on their minds when choosing a candidate? Also, do interviewers still appreciate a handwritten note after an interview?

Any other associates just feel like glorified assistants? I work in-house in a small entertainment company with one other attorney- our GC. he treats me like an assistant. Has called me his....

To those who are (or were) in-house: What aspect of the job do you dislike?

I’ve always heard that being at one of the tech Silicon Valley firms sets you up well for in house positions. Is that true across the board or only for folks there who do ECVC or tech trans work? If you’re just doing m&a there, do you still get the same advantages when trying to go in house as compared to m&a from another firm?

Is it possible to move in-house from Big Law as an associate and make more money? If not, what percentage pay cut is normal/worth it?

Any thoughts on KKR CPG?

Can anyone explain what an associate would do in-house at a PE firm?

Does anyone in-house care about cover letters? I had an interview last week where the interviewer (a tech person and nonlawyer) said they found it odd that I submitted a cover letter. Aren’t they basically required? Or is this just a law firm thing?

I’m going from law firm to in-house in a few weeks. Any tips? Advice? Dos? Don’ts?

Do you expect your business teams to read the (procurement) contracts and have comments before you review? For example, a contract for new equipment or a software license - do you expect your business team to have looked over the numbers/years/term before you begin your markup?

Well-traveled people: what seem like the best major market cities to live in with access to great in-house jobs (FAANG, adjacent companies, etc.). Some markets seem like really fun places to live but seem insanely expensive (San Fran, DC). Others seem like great comp to cost of living ratios but you seem like you’d basically be in a boring suburb (Raleigh, etc.) or have major drawbacks (arctic weather in Chicago, etc.). Maybe I’m totally off base though. Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts.

How do I get a FAANG in-house position? Currently in-house at a publicly traded tech company, but the pay is super low. I applied to FAANG many times but never hear back. Where do I search for the positions, and how do I get their attention?

After trying to find an in-house job since July, I finally have an offer at a company that I really like. Total comp is around $20-25k off from where I want to be. Equity comp may be the only way to bridge the gap but they said they don’t normally include equity comp at the corporate counsel level, which is odd. I have found that most companies do. Has anyone received equity comp in negotiations where it wasn’t originally on the table?

Anyone here work at Nike and want to give me the inside scoop?

I am applying to some in-house positions at tech companies and was pressed in one screener interview to say what I thought my base salary should be. I’m curious what an acceptable answer would be?

I have 6 years experience in Big Law. Focused primarily on patent litigation. Applying to roles in the Bay Area. Primarily applied to roles focused on general litigation and IP litigation. I’ve applied to tech companies ranging from FAANG to start-ups.

Any insights welcome.

I went in-house at year 4 — now at year 5. I feel like my growth has stunted and I’m not learning and growing my skill set. I don’t think I was very seasoned when I went in-house, was just very burnt out from big law. Can I go back to firm life to gain more skills then go back? WLB and everything else is great. Just don’t feel like I’m growing…!

US attorney confreres, you are smart, well educated, thoughtful people. Please can you answer this one simple question from me, a humble English lawyer:

Why in the hell are your contracts always like that?!

Recently asked for a raise based on YOE and the salary band I’m in. Was asked specifically my reason/basis for asking and said something like “market data”. Now my supervisor wants me to provide the data. Said data is my handful of interviews at other companies (all of which were actually higher ranges than I’m asking at my current). how do I respond?
