Offer check: $200k base, 10% bonus, $150k RSUs. Tech in-house but not FAANG. 8 YOE in biglaw, no prior in-house experience. Specialty practice. Seems decent based on other posts I’ve see here but heavy on RSUs?

Base + bonus is maybe a bit low, but the RSUs are excellent (assuming a vesting schedule of 4 years or less).

For reference, I have 6 YOE and making 225k base + 20% bonus + 20k annual equity grant. Different industry.

Is the 150k in rsus annual? If so really good. If over 4 years decent.

Really good because of the RSUs, just make sure you understand the vesting schedule.

200k and 10% are both a tad low (but not unheard of in house for tech these days) but obviously is made up by that RSU grant.

Base and bonus a bit low. However, this will be a good launch pad for other jobs if you can’t get a salary increase over next few years.

Negotiate a bit but otherwise go for it

Solid offer! If remote, amazing. If not HCOL, even better.

Not bad at all. Keep in mind raises and bonus will be tied to base pay, which might only go up 2% a year. Now is your only real shot to move that number up so def give it a try.

That is awesome; stay put!

Did you find this through linkedin/online postings or through the firm. I've been searching for 3 months now and haven't gotten any bites. 5YOE

I assume that's 150k vesting over three or four years (so between 37k and 50k annual comp)?

Additional Posts in In-House Counsel

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”

Very specific to retail and/or hospitality in-house roles: has anyone found a good solution for predictive scheduling?
