Is going in-house actually a change of pace from MidLaw (think Am200)? I’ve been considering it but since I’ve been asking around I’ve started to get mixed reviews.

Without specifics, this really is not possible to answer. Some Am200 firms work you to the bone for half the pay. Other places are better work life balance. In-house is the same. Many jobs are chill 9-5s and others work you just as much for a big pay cut. Impossible to say without specific companies/firms.

Just had a hearing on my motion to compel where OC told the judge we hadn’t conferred before filing the motion. Not only did I attempt to confer on 3 separate dates, I attached the emails and his response that he refused to confer to my motion. Judge didn’t care, as soon as she heard him say we hadn’t conferred she denied the motion. Not asking a question, just needed to vent.
