What do most careers look like after moving in-house? Is it staying in-house for duration of one’s career and making sub 400k?

I’m 5 years in and just started at my third company. If I’ve learned anything about in-house it’s that you need to leave to get a raise but when you do you’re likely to get at least 40%

Same. Deputy GC with a FAANG comp package. I expect to use the title to bump into similar positions at larger companies down the road.

Yes, unless you perform your way into a leadership position, go back to a firm or get lucky at an early stage company.

I see people go back and forth between law firms/in-house all the time. I don’t think there’s any hard and fast rule, it’s more that most people don’t want to go back to law firms after in-house, but certainly some people want more challenge/higher pay/want to escape a bad culture etc.

In house raises tend to be very small. You need to get promoted or leave to move up. Most tend to have very few high paying positions. If you don’t get promoted within a reasonable time move on. Even if you have to take a pay cut if you can get a title you can use to move to a better paying company later. Speaking as someone who stayed way too long.

Is 7 years too long?
