Question for heads of Legal w/small teams: how do you manage promotions/retention when your dept isn’t expected to really grow? We’ve got a small (~3 attorney) team at a late-stage startup. Lots of awesome career experiences in the future (possible fundings, IPO, biz strategy, etc), but very unlikely we add much to headcount. What can the team expect? Will companies promote to Director/AGC/etc based on experience? Or are we frozen at Senior Counsel (and comp) without new hires to go under us?

Interviewing with Oracle for Senior Director role (Strategic Client group). 18+ yoe
How is the work culture and PIP at Oracle? I have a comp discussion planned this week, any insights into their salary structure will help - base, joining bonus, RSUs, etc...

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.

Any idea of base salary and total compensation for an Associate Director position in a biotech company, company size ~10 billion USD annual revenue?

C-suite consulting leaders: why are you buying creative agencies?

Never feel indebted to your company coz they hired your talent and they pay for the same, neither you are doing charity nor they

Does anyone know why we have received same increment even when our ratings are different. There is only slight difference in bonus amount, rest is same for all guys. This is definitely true for 0-1 yoe ones.

Hi fishes,

What are the best exits from risk assurance? Is it possible to lateral into tech or no?

I just discovered that scheduling a call for 7 am the morning after a boozy team event is the best way to get easy agreement and consensus. No debating for the sake of debating when everyone is sleepy! 😂

Anyone work at Spotify or someplace similarly music-centric (Tidal, Apple Music)? What’s the lifestyle / WLB like? How’s your team?

Any thoughts on iCapital?

Working Moms/Dads: Do in-house positions exist with flex time hours? I need to be able to leave work at 4pm to pick up my son from daycare, but i can get back online at home to resume any unfinished work at 8pm. Is this realistic to convey to any companies in an interview? Pandemic aside, is face time 9-7pm really important? Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!

What’s it like being a senior in-house corporate attorney in biotech or tech? Is the work interesting or is it mainly just reviewing contracts and admin/CYA work for biz folks?

Has anyone heard of TechGC/DeputyGC? Thoughts on membership?

Any product counsel for AI-related companies here?

I have one pro bono case that I kept when I left my firm to go in house. It’s a matter completely unrelated to my company and I have malpractice insurance through the nonprofit organization associated with the case. I’ve made clear to my client that I’m repping this client in my personal capacity. No one has asked me specifically about pro bono stuff at my company - if I know there’s no conflict of interest, is this something I should disclose? To whom should I disclose this?

Would you say most in-house roles tend to hire from BigLaw?

In house interview- I am going to hopefully the final round of interview to meet the whole legal team. I was asked about my availability, and it will take 5 hours if in one day. Should I split to multiple days? Will it cause any issues? Anyone on both sides can speak from their experience? Thanks!

Very specific to retail and/or hospitality in-house roles: has anyone found a good solution for predictive scheduling? Our retail division has one set of software for scheduling and one for payroll, and neither of them can handle predictive scheduling compliance issues unless they’re used for both the scheduling and payroll functions. I’m coming up empty on ideas for them to bridge the gap, but I’m also new to my compliance counsel role, so I would be overjoyed if anyone has suggestions.

Should litigation come out of legal or the businesses budget? My understanding is business? Any thoughts here or advice…

Have any one used a resume coach or service for in house job search, particularly for IP and product counsel positions? If so, how did you find a good one? Thanks!

Anyone have insight on working in Patreon’s legal department?

How does your company manage (track) all of the documents related to a merger you are working on? Are you using a matter management software, a spreadsheet, shared file, etc? Keeping up with the moving pieces is killing me with just a spreadsheet.

Starting a new position in a few weeks and have an opportunity to speak with my future boss before starting. Is there anything I should ask before starting that wouldn’t already have been covered in the interview? I was thinking about asking if I should read up on anything before starting, but I also don’t want to impose obligations on myself if I don’t have to. Fwiw going from firm to in-house. TIA!

Any tips for moving up in a medium/large-sized legal department, aside from switching companies? I work in a collegial environment with plenty of opportunities to create more value, but the management level is fairly crowded and it seems the clearest path to get one of those roles is to be hired into it. What has been your experience? Thanks!

Has anyone moved from antitrust private practice to a non-antitrust in-house role? If so, what kind of role?

A client (in the banking industry) is looking for what they’re calling a software/dev ops attorney to report directly to the GC. Thinking 6th year+. Would need to be based in the south. Can provide more details if you dm me.

What kind of companies pay more than $200k base and what practice areas? Remote or Texas. I’m a new attorney between M&A and L&E, but I’m willing to switch practice areas for the best exit options in the future (4-5 yoe).

My background is in tech transactional. I joined a cybersecurity SaaS startup at the end of last year and now also handle more generalist matters in addition to all things commercial-related. I have a number of books on contracts that I’ve found super helpful over the years (The Tech Contracts Handbook, A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Sign Here, etc.). Can anyone recommend books they’ve found helpful for L&E matters, privacy matters, product matters, or marketing/advertising matters?
