Is there a meaningful difference between the titles "Assistant General Counsel" and "Associate General Counsel"? Are they both "AGC"?

Conventional wisdom is that Associate is higher. However, in practice, there is little uniformity across companies and there is a growing trend of foregoing the ACG title structures altogether in favor of “Legal Counsel”, “Senior Legal Counsel”, “Managing Counsel”, etc.

If it’s your choice, *definitely* go for Deputy GC.

There are two things that matter in house: 1. Compensation; and 2. Levels between you and the General Counsel. Assuming similar comp, Counsel is a better title that AGC, if the Counsel reports to the GC and the AGC reports to a position that reports to the GC.

Have interviews set up at FAANG co and getting good signals, for a position that was posted widely (all across US) but not remote. Haven’t broached the subject of location yet. Would you (1) early on clearly state that you’re not open to relocation but that you would be open to visiting a big office once or twice a month; (2) not say anything now and wait to get an offer and ask for an exemption; or (3) something else?
