What kind of in-house jobs approach biglaw associate comp and are available to Biglaw associates? I’ve heard some big tech positions open to lawyers with ~8 years experience can hit 300k or more. Facebook AGC comes to mind.

I'm in process with a few. The highest salaries I've seen are at public companies that have a very small number of lawyers (which, admittedly, is rare).

They seem to need people who can handle whatever is thrown at them, rather than one specific task. They also have usually been relying on expensive outside counsel and are looking to insource as much as possible, so you're really cost saving to them, even if expensive.

Related question: what’s the fastest way to figure out if comp for a position is totally untenable? I don’t want to waste a minute of anyone’s time for an amount I would never consider taking. I’ve had HR screeners ask for a range in initial calls, but is it kosher for me to ask or offer this information if it doesn’t come up?

I’ve been asking immediately with good success. “Before we move forward, I need a compensation range for this position. I do not want to waste anyone’s time if we aren’t in the same ballpark.” This has worked for HR/recruiting in-house and with recruiters.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working as a contract TAS for 6 months in a medical device company. I started part time and as it became busier/my trainer quit, I became full-time. I applied for the TA position through corporate and would like some insight. the company is short staffed and my site specifically does not have good TA retention. For the salary expectation, I put in 85k which is in the range. I’m currently at 64k which is below the minimum of the range. Is this realistic?
