Wise counsel my mother taught me….
No need to envy someone else for what they have unless you’re willing to do what they did to get it.
You’ve managed to escape Big Law’s stress and burnout. Be confident that you made the right decision.
Remember partnership is simply status, establish a different kind of status for yourself.
Use your GC position to establish yourself as an authority in the industry:
• Speak at conferences
• Write for blogs
• Seek podcast guest spots
Pretty soon, your classmates will be envying YOU when they see YOUR name everywhere.
Thanks! Wide counsel for sure
A couple people make partner. A lot of people crash out (including some of those partners). A few people literally kill themselves/attempt to.
It's not worth it. Getting a great IHC exit is absolutely the right call.
Thanks for the perspective
Have you already forgotten how miserable Big Law is?
I laugh when I see the announcements cause I just know how miserable they are and they’ll all be divorced in a few years with kids who don’t see or speak to them once they leave for college.
I left 3 months out from partnership. No regrets.
You are literally me. Also 2018 grad that left big law and went in house a year ago. The last two weeks have been nonstop parter promotions. Feeling fomo or like I made the wrong call. But have to remember there's a reason I went in house...
Glad I’m not the only one!

Bro relax. Enjoy life no one will care at the end what job you had or how much you worked. I try and work as little as possible. Im in house and live it.
This is the mindset
Late to this but also a 2018 grad and it was an interesting feeling seeing the associates in the year above getting promoted to partner and counsel. Not necessarily in like a fomo way, more just wondering if I would be better or more competent or ready for that level too if I had just stuck around (though i never had partner aspirations)
