What would be a typical salary for a junior in house counsel role (3 yoe) at a publicly traded company in a secondary market (think Austin, Tampa, Charlotte)? I’m having a really hard time finding what a reasonable range would be. Most positions I’m applying to require desired salary in the application, and the truth is I’d accept anything north of 125k but don’t want to undersell myself and take a bigger cut than necessary coming from biglaw.

I’m in a similar role (CO 2020) in a tertiary market (think smaller than what you listed) but with an international corp and my salary is 125k base. Went to a T3 school but graduated in the top 5%. Was hired this summer if that helps.

What industry and what role? (Regulatory, corporate, litigation, etc)

Yeah. Corporate gets paid and tech attorneys get paid. I’d expect $180k minimum.

I’d avoid putting a salary in the application if you can. From my experience, the majority either allow you to leave it blank or to put text instead of numbers.

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer.
