What should my requested salary be for a Senior Intelligence Analyst position with CrowdStrike ? I have a bachelors degree and 5 years of experience as an intelligence analyst. Current salary is 56k in NC, but when I was in DC I was making 86k (big locality change)… which makes me confused on what I should expect for a remote job.

Bain & Company Hey! Got dinged at BCG and Mck and then hadn't heard back from Bain, but just found out I made it to final rounds. I haven't been prepping for over a week as it'd be two since my first round at Bain.
Help! Whats different or similar about Bain final rounds? I'm applying to Texas offices for an experienced AC role. I also may have to have an accelerated final round as I'm leaving the country for most of April. Bain & Company

I'm in the same boat as you are -
Worked at a successful startup with an exit event (sold to a company that is IPO'ing in 2022. Currently an outside advisor at two different startups. Now a couple years in at a big law firm.
I also view my exit event as an in-house role (either product counsel or as an ops person). Issue is that as product counsel you're essentially acting as the GC for a product. If the product manager is the product's CEO, you're the next lieutenant in line. My personal feeling is that I don't have the experience to be a successful product counsel (keeping in mind I have essentially the same experience as you). Stick it out at the law firm for another few years (non-eq partner level or at least until sr associate). That's my plan at least. Happy to compare notes.

My general sense is that FAANG/MAANG likes big law and top law schools, but you can get hired without either if you network hard and have otherwise strong credentials. I can’t think of any training/cert other than CIPP that would be particularly useful. Networking is always a good idea to get your foot in the door tho.
There are also lots of smaller name tech companies posting product counsel positions. You could always start at one of those companies and then apply to MAANG, or whatever the big tech companies are at that point. The tech space is constantly changing.
