That’s great to know - do you have any tips that have worked for you?

Remember that you are going up against MBB for those same positions and they are struggling to get interview calls. You’ll need a strong differentiator on your resume to get to the next level.

What’s your YOE, etc… hard to draw comparisons without some of that info.

That's a common profile and you have 16 YOE meaning you are going for a senior level role.

Why interview you over someone else that networked their way to a chat with the hiring manager?

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company. The position is pretty much generalist, but I get the impression I'd be working mostly on SaaS and partnership transactions. I definitely think I would like the transactional work better, but I am concerned about the long-term earning potential vs. partnership. How common is it to eventually make $400k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!
