Hi folks,

Need your help, I got an offer from fidelity investments. I am hired to work in FFIO Business Unit as lead software engineer.

Client wants to set up an LLC where a President gets 25% of the membership interests but contributes no capital other than his services. Governance is supposed to be handled by the vote of the members based on percentage ownership. It seems like the President is going to recognize tax on the value of his contributed services unless we structure his interests as profits interests. Would welcome anyone’s thoughts. Feel free to DM me.

What is the hierarchy at your company and the salary differential for each position? We have staff attorney, associate general counsel, assistant general counsel, deputy general counsel, and then general counsel. Thx. I would guess that the ranges are about $25k differential per position.

Been told by two partners that my leaving as a 4th year (3.5 years behind me) is too early for my development. The job I’m taking seems great with a great GC and good team. But I’m questioning if the right decision. Won’t go back on the offer but just wondering ...

I went in-house at year 4 — now at year 5. I feel like my growth has stunted and I’m not learning and growing my skill set. I don’t think I was very seasoned when I went in-house, was just very burnt out from big law. Can I go back to firm life to gain more skills then go back? WLB and everything else is great. Just don’t feel like I’m growing…!

Let’s talk Salary. I’m seeking an in-house counsel position as an Associate at a large financial institution. Headquarters is San Antonio, TX. I have 13+ years of Regulatory experience in other industries and 3 years at a large financial institution. I researched on Indeed and there was only one salary posted. I’m currently employed at the company in the legal department in a non-attorney position. I’d appreciate any feedback on salary ranges or strategies on negotiating a pay increase.

I work at a large, global software company, and am looking to make a move to a more collaborative environment with better culture. I’ve been offered a more senior position at a smaller North American company in the crypto space where I know I will learn a lot, but I’m worried it might hurt my overall career trajectory. Eventually I plan on moving internationally. When it comes to searching for a new position, does company size/reputation matter more than the experience you have at the company?

Anyone relate to this or have advice? I’m about to quit big law and want to go in house after a few months of recharge. In my mind, I can’t possibly imagine myself being excited and energized about work (even though in house objectively aligns with my goals/style). I just feel so lazy and wonder if I’m just “ruined” mindset/energy wise….
