I’m looking to go in house as a second year corporate biglaw associate. Really want something close to 40-50 hours a week and weekends off. Remote would be ideal. I’d like $110-130k if possible. Do you know of anything? Is this unrealistic? Thanks all.

This is the most realistic ask I’ve seen on this bowl in awhile. The salary and WLB is commensurate with your experience I definitely think this is possible. The hard part will be finding companies that hire corporate counsel at your level but I know of at least one with the hours and comp you want

If you’re willing to work at an ECVC boutique that starts at $200k for 40-50 hrs a week and weekends off, happy to chat. We offer an interesting combination for folks with a corporate background that want exposure to in-house work - and we’re hiring.

Based on my own situation, that is very realistic. And try some weeks being more like 20 hours (with half-day Fridays May-August). I think your best bet will be companies hiring their second attorney (varies but the 100-250 employee mark is probably a safe bet). I would rather wait tables again, than go back to billables, lol. So, yes, I could not be happier being done with firm life. No judgment, I know plenty of attorneys who enjoy working at a firm. Hopefully if/when you make the move, you find the change just as rewarding as I have. Good luck!

Possible but you're more useful if you get another 1 or 2 years of practice in tbh.

Before taking a large pivot and leaving the law entirety, I've thought about going in-house.

(2) Would it make it more difficult to go back to private practice if I don't like that experience?
