What are the best non-FAANG tech companies to work for? Specifically, given this bowl's subject matter, for in house legal roles, but also more broadly. Comp, culture, nature of work, company prospects, etc.

Tbh FAANG is massively overrated. The move is pre-IPO startups where your shares may be worth a ridiculous amount post-IPO. Have experience at a major EC VC tech firm then use it to keep switching between high prospect newer companies

@Senior Counsel... it is kinda hard to miss some of them if you work for a Big 4 EC VC firm..... and there is a major jump in pre->post ipo. For example robinhood or airbnb were predictable long before ipo

Chill people, great benefits, interesting work.

How is the pay at Cisco? Competitive with newer tech companies?

I think it’s petty competitive with other tech companies. It’s not going to beat the likes of Apple or Google, though.

I have a review coming up for my company, and I’m looking for direction on a salary range for my position because I believe I am very underpaid. I am the social media manager and have been for a year. I am also the creative director that takes all the photos and videos for our social channels as well. I also shoot all the content for our website and e-commerce channels. I work with all our influencers and manage partnership. have no idea what to expect from a role like this in terms of Salary.

So just had my first Amazon interview interaction the other day and its BS. I got invited to take part in the interview process by first answering a bunch of situational/case study like problems and then had to complete this long work style assessment after which they requested a call/interview only to find out the comp for the role is way below my target. Why would you make people waste so much time on your stupid assessments before asking expected salary range?!

Additional Posts in In-House Counsel

Outside counsel has been prepping company witnesses for a trial in August. It is my subject area so I am supervising outside counsel. I did not, however, choose the counsel. He is doing a really awful job. Co counsel is better, but not great either. Higher ups love the firm… I do not want to micromanage, but I have genuine concerns about outside counsel’s ability to try this case. Trials are rare, and I just don’t think these guys have actually tried many cases. Cont. below…
