Recently moved in-house and struggling with how to document my contributions (keep a “brag list” if you will) for purposes of review season and eventual bonus/promotion/raise discussions. At a firm it was fairly easy to point to high billables, high profile deals, praise from particular partners or clients. Now I’m struggling because my work is so….day to day. Mostly negotiating typical sales contracts. Very few opportunities for visibility or high profile contributions if that makes sense.
You’re not alone, but know it’s skyrocketing for a reason. If you’re fine with that trade-off, then this is a good market to make the change.
I pulled the lever. So far, no regrets so long as the paychecks keep coming…
Good for you! 🙂
The comp is super tempting… but I get enough parental guilt and already feel like I miss out on my kids too much when I work less than 40 hrs.
Wondering same. Do they take people with boutique background or only big law background? Also, can you lateral after 10+ out or do they prefer more junior?
Nope!

I went back but I chose practice area and firm carefully. EC/VC, firm known for having a great culture.
