What is work-life balance like in big tech legal? I’m currently in house at a large multinational; I like my job and I get paid fine, with a very good WLB (40-45 hrs).

I don’t want to be miserable again. I know Amazon is poorly reputed for lawyer WLB… what about other places?

Hello Everyone,

Since I am a lateral entry, I think promotion to Engr III also would take a lot of time.

Also can you please let me know the current designation hierarchy in VDSI?
