What do you guys think about working on productions for conglomerates like Disney- do you get excited/proud to be working on it or aspire to work on more niche/artistic projects that haven’t been widespread in the media?

There’s always the initial excitement of getting to work on a big project but ultimately smaller stuff can feel more rewarding!

Yes I think you get more creative freedom on the project!

I do get excited about working for the bigger names, but it's not as rewarding as working on the smaller projects. For sure it gives me bragging rights. It's just not as satisfying.

Yes at the moment I’m working on a bigger project, but it’s too big in a way- you work so hard making a thing that most likely won’t be in the film!

The bragging rights is fun with that kind of big project but small projects feel more rewarding when they cross the line - best of both worlds!

Very true it’s nice to do both! People get more excited when you say for big project you’re on in comparison to a small one!

Lawyer Couples:
I’m currently an associate (no kids) in a very busy corp group (think 50-60 billable weekly). My wife works significantly less (currently part time, 10-15, but hopefully will be full time soon). I find myself getting upset when asked to help with basic household things (trash, cooking etc.) when she’s been lounging around watching Netflix all day. Am I being reasonable or am I a misogynist? How do you deal with one person having significantly more free time than the other?

Considering an offer to go from firm (4 YOE) to become a privacy/product counsel for a tech company (non-faang). One concern for me is the potential of a recession in late 22 into 23 with the fed rate hikes. My fear is if that happens, me being on the chopping block as new in house counsel. If I stayed at the firm, I feel reasonably secure as an associate of not being laid off due to the market. How do in house counsel positions typically fare during lay off cycles? Any experiences to share?
