Just checking in to ask if other in-house counsel feel like much of their work is reading comprehension and cat herding. Needing reassurance I’m not the only one.

Data analytics or fullstack developer?
If I want to switch from non IT.

I'm looking for someplace open late where I can go and write on my laptop. Like tryst used to be, but now they're closed at 9. I don't need wifi.

Can I work from outside India for a while or is it not allowed. I guess the issue would come only while filling gt&e right? or I won't be able to access emails as well? I asked counsellor if I can work from outside India for a while, she said no but my colleague told me it can be done but need to get approvals.

Is there anyone who is @cvshealth who would not mind giving me a referral? I have applied to a Senior Manager Quality Improvement Actives position. I would love an opportunity to interview to better demonstrate the value I can add to the organization. Thanks I’m advance!

Does your firm give you credit for hours that were written off? Sometimes I feel if you don’t lose anything for hours cut from the bill, you have incentives not to be 100% honest w/ your timesheet.

Any ideas for a gym bag that can also be used for laptop? Don’t want to carry two bags but also want something that looks professional

There was a spider in my shower because it’d been so long since I’d been home. Nomadic lifestyle

Got an offer for SA2 , salary 105k base. What would be approximate bonus per year. I have more than 6 years of experience. Is this a good offer ?

Question for yall. How likely is an offer once a company decides to do a reference check? I know I am in the final 2, from context clues in interviews. I just dont want to get my hopes up.

Does your company pay for parking (if they don’t have a designated lot)? If no, do you believe they should they pay for it? Thoughts on this?

Is it proper to follow up about a job app through LinkedIn? Or should I just stick to getting names, office numbers, and emails to contact agency hiring teams?

California 🐟 does your vacation payout when you leave your job get taxed at regular wage, or bonus, levels? Does your employer have discretion to choose?

Who's got the most fishbowl points?

Hi Everyone, we are looking for an experienced digital marketing account manager to join our team. Our mission is twofold and ordered: 1) to create a community of leaders & creators, to empower our team to achieve their dreams and to best help others; 2) to honestly partner with our clients, and with their best interests, build scalable solutions that provide profitable growth.

Has anyone bombed their last interview (case or assessment) and still got the job? My assessment went over 10mins and so my interviewers and I didn’t have a chance to exchange much, but I did make an effort to ask if they still have some time and asked more questions related to the role. What are my chances 🥲

Do you agree or disagree that email marketing is still king?

Favorite fonts for decks?

Hi IBMers,
Do we need to mandatorily submit the rental agreement, rental proofs and landlord's PAN to claim HRA for any amount?
Please help me with your suggestions. Thanks in advance 😊

Been interviewing for two months for an in-house position. Is this standard?

Considering taking a position with a small-cap in the US trying to build their legal department. The title is standard “counsel” although the work would be with the senior leadership team and reporting to the GC in Europe. How reasonable is it to ask for a bump in title - Senior counsel or Head of Legal, US? If it matters, I am a 6th year and have been told that I will be expected to hire a junior or paralegal as we build up.

Underrated tech companies to work for? E.g. not FAANG.

Considering a move in-house to NBC Universal in any litigation role (though I’d really go to wherever there is a need, whether litigation or business affairs generally). Coming from 4th year law firm litigation experience in a variety of areas but mostly data breach, e-discovery, breach of K. Do I apply with an employee referral or via LinkedIn recruiter that reached out? Alternatively, if anyone has experience applying/at NBCU, I’d so appreciate general advice :) TIA.

Do GCs work as much as big law partners? It seems like the GCs I know are slammed all the time and even work weekends

Now that Facebook is Meta, I thought I’d just pitch MANGA as the new FAANG…

Any thoughts on iCapital?

Can anyone help me wrap my head around this post Series C start-up equity offer? It’s an IP director position, the the base is $170 with 10% bonus (both lower than I was expecting). There’s also an equity component: 0.15% of current fully diluted equity. This equates to about 30000 shares at a strike price of $2. They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.

Has anyone heard of TechGC/DeputyGC? Thoughts on membership?

I’m in discussions to become the GC of a mid size but international company that does ~$1 billion in annual revenue. Smallish legal department. They’ve asked for my comp expectations. I don’t have specific expectations but I want to be compensated at least market for a NYC based GC (which looks like cash comp of at least $300k plus bonus, etc). Any suggestions on how people would respond?

Should litigation come out of legal or the businesses budget? My understanding is business? Any thoughts here or advice…

Have any one used a resume coach or service for in house job search, particularly for IP and product counsel positions? If so, how did you find a good one? Thanks!

In house interview- I am going to hopefully the final round of interview to meet the whole legal team. I was asked about my availability, and it will take 5 hours if in one day. Should I split to multiple days? Will it cause any issues? Anyone on both sides can speak from their experience? Thanks!

For those working in house, how much “from scratch” document drafting are you doing vs. reviewing and revising “outside documents”. For example, if your company wants to enter into a joint venture company with another entity, are you drafting the company agreement “from scratch” or is it based on internal forms? Or are you getting outside counsel to do it?

What would be a typical salary for a junior in house counsel role (3 yoe) at a publicly traded company in a secondary market (think Austin, Tampa, Charlotte)? I’m having a really hard time finding what a reasonable range would be. Most positions I’m applying to require desired salary in the application, and the truth is I’d accept anything north of 125k but don’t want to undersell myself and take a bigger cut than necessary coming from biglaw.

How did current in-house attorneys find their positions? I am currently in big law with 3 years of experience. Seems that most recruiters can only help me lateral to other big law firms.

I'm going into review/raise season. What are the most favorable salary benchmarking reports for in-house counsel? I'm looking for something other than Robert Half...

How many in house counsel are in your company? Please also share the total number of employees and company revenue for reference. I’ll start. 55 in house counsel globally for a $10b company, total employee count ~32k.

How recession-proof are in house roles in finance (e.g., hedge funds, PE firms, etc.), especially when newly lateraling from Big Law?

Would you say most in-house roles tend to hire from BigLaw?
