I’m currently on a secondment to a client in a lit/regulatory role and this is so much better than life at a firm, I love it here. What are the downsides that I’m not seeing? Is it just the money or are these positions just really hard to get?

Some ppl say that you are less desirable to BigLaw firms the longer you're inhouse, but I have rarely met anyone inhouse wanting to return to a biglaw firm. Worth knowing but probably irrelevant.

I was on a secondment and once I saw the light I never wanted to step foot in a firm again, and so I didn’t, currently in house.

Yup. Worked hard on my secondment to make a good impression, but there was no position for me there at the time, went back to the firm for a bit but was interviewing for in house gigs the whole time, and finally the client reached out to offer me a position. Jumped on it and have happily been there for awhile now.

The money and also the type of training you get in-house is (for some) not as desirable. If you go in house early on in your career, you’re probably leaving some of that big law niche/expert knowledge on the table. In-house training tends to be more generalist.

When there's any training...

Received an offer in corporate finance at a large media company. Gave the HR rep a figure during interviews, and they said salary cap for the position was 10k lower. Offered a sign-on for the difference, but the base is significantly lower than TC I’ve seen for comparable roles outside media by ~20-25k.

They used the term “best and final offer” over the phone but made it clear that I am a highly desirable candidate for the team. Do I have leverage to negotiate more, or are salary caps real?

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.
