A friend is thinking of going into inside counsel. Anyone in here made this move? Is there a better platform for this type of questions ?

    Fishbowl has more relevant conversations on this than Blind. Hope this helps!

    Yeah Fishbowl is great for this. There’s an In-House counsel “bowl” on there with lots of intel. I’ve also recently made the move form firm to in-house @Tech (declined a FAANG offer). Feel free to DM.

  • I’ve made the move. It’s a good move to make, if you’re young and ok with making a lot less money. After age 40, it’s kind of an uphill battle but I still learned a lot and it’s good for your resume.

      Can you give some insight on jr-level tc and base salary? I’m interviewing with a public tech co (not faang) and really don’t know what a reasonable ask is for salary negotiations is since there aren’t many opportunities with such little experience. I have 1 yr post qual experience but ~4 yrs overall.
