What do you all do if you learn of a minor breach of confidentiality obligations in a contract? For example say one of your vendors that handles financials and bill pay accidentally sends copies of your invoices to another vendor.

I’ve had this come up a couple times and have never had a good answer as far as remedies. The contracts never have liquidated damages so it feels like the options are terminate contract or sue for equitable relief?

If anyone is wanting to discuss a switch to Deloitte Tax, DM me! I’m in Houston and we are currently hiring seniors and managers. Happy to submit referrals for other cities too.

If I accept the promotion to Partner/Principal what's the least number of years I could work without it being a financial mistake. I have an opportunity to do something completely unrelated that's my passion, but I feel like that's the wrong decision when I'm this close.

The other opportunity should still be there for 2-3 years

So, what happens if you miss your utilization/billable hour target by like 70-150 hours? Tons of "impactful" PRD work

View from the wing. I’m going to start taking photos and make a scrapbook for when these days are behind me. Just FYI, I guess.

Hello! Anyone work at GE Healthcare?

Does anyone know typical salaries for Functional Consultant and Senior Functional Consultant roles within CSG of Salesforce? Glassdoor does not have much info at all.

If I’m right on the cusp of hitting the contribution reductions for a Roth IRA for 2021 (will potentially have a greater than $125k AGI depending on bonus amount, but likely won’t exceed $130k), what should I do? I can fully find the $6k right now to a Roth, fund like $5k and then wait until June when I find out my bonus amount to decide what to do with the rest, or should I just do an IRA->Roth conversion just to be safe?

Hi all,

I'm currently working as a Salesforce Developer with 1 yoe. Looking for a change. If anyone can refer, pls DM so I can share my details.

About to do my first interview for an in house job (coming from a midsize firm).
What are some questions typically asked, and good answers to those questions?
What are some good questions to ask?

Any Amazon counsel or other FAANG attorneys willing to share how their comp review has worked? I’m really happy with my offer(lower base, really high signing bonus and decent RSUs) and was told their would be yearly comp reviews but wondering how that plays out the first few years...

I will resign in coming few days. I want my notice period to be reduced from 60 day to say 30days. I am not occupied in client project currently. My question is to whom should I talk to get my notice period reduced? What is the process?

What's the funniest retail customer story you've ever heard?

I've got some friends who work remote jobs, and every day I grow more jealous of them during my one-hour commute.

Has anyone done a collab with influencer MIKIRAI? I know she’s a big deal but i’m trying to figure out if she’s worth the money, our agency just had a bad experience with an influencer and the client is not happy. We need to make a comeback! All insights are appreciated.

Does anyone know what purple tables mean in Excel?

I know about green and orange, but never saw purple before and trying to figure it out.

Being openly gay has been the best gift I give my students. All the kids-- even the ones I don't teach-- know they can come to my room and just BE THEMSELVES for a minute or two. 🤠🤡😎👽❤️

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

If you practice collections in-house, what do you earn and do you receive a bonus?

I have practiced for five years and make $121k as an employee of a financial services company. As the only attorney, I oversee all statewide collections efforts, from demand letter to garnishment, with a case volume of nearly 7k new cases per year, of which the majority I end up litigating. I receive only a $1k bonus per year. Is my compensation fair? My last insurance defense gig was $75k.

Did anyone have an interview with Amazon for an ACC position? And know how long after the phone screen/hypo stage they contact you? It’s been two days, I’m thinking they are going to reject me if they are taking this long?

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

Vanity Marketing Mags (e.g., Vanguard Law)

Anyone done a feature for Vanguard Law or similar? How did that work out for you? Did your outside counsel receive a shake down to sponsor the piece?

I have been stiff arming Vanguard for years but am curious if there’s any actual benefit. Or at least funny stories.

I went from meeting HR to the head of my department I’d be working for in 3 days. This seems fast. Does it to anyone else? It’s a super fast growing fin tech. I think they may just need bodies.

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?

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”

A lot of people here seem to glamorize MANGA positions - good pay, and good WLB. There has to be a catch, right?

How many in house counsel are in your company? Please also share the total number of employees and company revenue for reference. I’ll start. 55 in house counsel globally for a $10b company, total employee count ~32k.

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

Forgive the basic question but can you contract around state statutes? For ex, customer wants to insert state contractor payment statutes and have that state law govern. I’m assuming the way around this is to have another more preferable state as choice of law?

How did current in-house attorneys find their positions? I am currently in big law with 3 years of experience. Seems that most recruiters can only help me lateral to other big law firms.

Now that Facebook is Meta, I thought I’d just pitch MANGA as the new FAANG…

Midlevel corporate attorney considering an in-house offer in the wealth management space (RIA, multi family office). Work would be a mix of corporate and funds work. Interested in getting into the blockchain space long term. Would this role move me toward or away from that goal?

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!

Do GCs work as much as big law partners? It seems like the GCs I know are slammed all the time and even work weekends

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