What’s the ballpark salary range for a mid-level associate going in house (AGC) at tech start up? I have no context for what’s reasonable. Start up has about 100 employees and is growing.

175k -200k plus about 20-30k in equity at today's val, spread over a 4 year vest. Depends on geo and whether you are a generalist (corp, etc) or commercial. Commercial generally paid less. This would be for a Series C or later private co in SV/SF.

Also there's likely a cash bonus and you could ask for a signing bonus....

Check Robert Half. Also be very skeptical of any equity offered by a startup. There is a small chance it will pay out, but a much better chance that it will never amount to anything.

No problem. Recently went in house at a $5b tech company, so feel free to DM me if you have specific questions.

It's really hard to say, because in house is more variable than biglaw. Offhand, for what OP is describing, I'd say $150-200 including salary, bonus and 401k, plus some equity with a small chance it pays out.

This is consistent with my experience. I was an AGC at an RIA with a 3-person legal team and ~80 employees. My base salary was $140k with a discretionary year-end bonus that ranged from $25-35k. The firm was based in NYC, but I worked out of a satellite office in a secondary market, which likely affected my salary.

Damn, not even a hint of a number? From what I have seen, those blogs just have vague guidance. Anyone have any (anonymous) real numbers?

I understand this might sound a little snobby but I'm not trying for it to come off that way. I've been around impressive people throughout my adult life.
