I can’t speak to the pay cut because I think it varies a lot, but everyone I know who went in house loves it.
I feel like there might also be more job security at a firm than in-house right about now, given all the layoffs in that sector. At least at a firm, the risk is distributed across multiple clients.
Agreed
Ive done both. It’s really a personality fit imo. Some thrive inhouse others at a firm. I prefer a firm.
Why, from your perspective, would you say some thrive in one over the other? What’s the difference?
Not worth it. Overworked, underpaid and unappreciated is what you will likely get. Music in house can be worth it if you’ve got 15-20 years of industry experience as you can shoot for pretty high paid positions doing cool stuff but those spots are rare and more competitive than some firm positions despite still offering less.
Wow, totally agree.
Being in-house has it’s perks, but most in-house counsel are overworked and underpaid. You also may service certain teams (e.g. marketing, digital, linear) who are extremely disorganized and make your job a nightmare and you don’t have much say in how they operate. Overall, I’m glad I’m in-house and don’t have to worry about billable hours, but it’s definitely not as glamorous as it’s made out to be. I’m still on the clock 24/7 and get emails/calls at all hours from the groups I service.
