Additional Posts in In-House Counsel
Any book recommendations for GC of a startup?
Any in-house counsel in here willing to post their company, level or YOE, and total comp breakdown? If you’re comfortable, please consider posting both your current stats and what your stats were when you first moved in-house. If there’s any other information that you want to share, please include that too (e.g., hours, interesting perks, etc.). Info on in-house salaries is pretty hard to come by, and it would be great to compile some data points here! Facebook Amazon Google Netflix Apple

To whom does she directly report and are they more reasonable?
I have often used a “don’t ask, don’t tell” approach with my department when someone wants to do something eminently reasonable that I know is contrary to the views of some of the bigger hardos on my exec team.
Expect to know? Just don’t tell him.
During this difficult time. Colleague was eventually told that company could not accommodate her request. HR leadership is new and likely manipulated/swayed by boss, who is a senior exec. Any tips? Maybe my opinion is colored by prior experiences but does this sound a bit unreasonable?
If she is remote, how would they know where she is working from?
The "potential legal risk of remote worker in State X, while not licensed in said State" is a bit trite at this point. Partners have long dashed away to more desirable places for weeks (and even months) during normal times. Now that Associates seem to have some flexibility, the old guard keeps rehashing this nonsensical belief that bar regulators are watching our every move.
The fact is it's nobody's business, especially not your host state's bar regulators where the hell you choose to work during these times. It would be great if we could get a case litigated to dispense with this silly myth. If I'm duly licensed in State A, and work on exclusively State A matters while in State B, State B has zero interest in that work. I would take it a step further and say it would be unconstitutional of State B to suggest otherwise. Not to mention that we all work on matters in states where we're not even licensed pretty much everyday of the year in Biglaw firms.
Ok, I'm done with my rant for now......
