What are some companies and/or roles in-house that has a 9-5 schedule and little to no weekends? I know I want to leave law firm life and eventually go in-house but I would hate to end up at a company where the attorneys work crazy hours. Any insight is appreciated.

Most in-house jobs are 9-5 & I think that’s the norm. There are always weeks (like end of quarter) where things will pick up.

Hi all - just joining and looking for some guidance! I am currently in an IT internship position (making pretty solid money considering) and following this summer I will stay on part time during my senior year (discussing a full-time job offer after already). I’m getting my computer science degree, so I would like to do something more technical in the workplace when I graduate. How do I advocate myself for that to my manager without sounding unappreciative of the position I’m in?

Next week I’m having my first lateral interview as a junior associate.
