If you're coming from a big firm that pays top of market ($250+ at your level) then you're going to have to look at in-house roles that offer base+bonus+equity in order to not feel a huge cut--but there's going to be a cut. If you're looking at remote in-house roles that are largely based on LCOL cities, mostly in-office/local folks, your target might be well outside their range. Just to throw some numbers out a typical in-house base salary of $180k base +20% bonus is common (TC $216k). But places with lower base or more bonus and equity are also common. It's a huge range on TC.
If you're looking at startups/silcon Valley in house roles you could easily have low-mid $200k base +bonus putting you much closer to biglaw pay.
It's definitely not going to go up in lock step with firm pay. You might see very modest 2% annual increases.

As always, it depends. Is it a big company? Are you working remotely or there? Did they not give you a range?

Not actively looking here but I understand that it would depend on several factors. Would the salary cut from biglaw be similar to other corporate in-house positions? I was told that it might not be a huge drop in salary for funds counsels (but that it might not go up every year as much as big law scale).
