Additional Posts in In-House Counsel
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

I went straight in-house. I know more and more people who took a non traditional path. The only thing I’ve really noticed is that when you don’t come from big law the pay is definitely less.
How’s your law school? The industry is growing like wild. Marquis names may be hard but lower-mid sized firms will probably be willing to overlook background.
Thanks! My concern is the PE industry is often hung up on school ranks and prestige of former employers, although there are plenty of smaller PE/alt. investment firms that may be more forgiving.
True about the legal industry; overlap that with the PE industry and you’ve got a subset of folks who think your school and prior employers are the only predictors of success.
Top 50 when I attended but has slid since. DC area school with a decent National rep. I was thinking the same about the small to mid size PE firms. Ideally a position where I’m solely legal counsel but also have some say in investment decisions.
