I'm never going to maximize hours to pay to stress like this ever again, right? In-house, no billables.

More stress than BIGFED but way less than normal law jobs. Half the year I never do more than 2-3 hours a day. Other half the year it's maybe 3 hours a day, if that, with the occasional travel needed, but that's only 3-4x a year.

More pay than BIGFED but less than some of the better in-house jobs.

Better hours than in-house jobs and similar to, or better than, BIGFED.

WFH 2 days a week

Currently I am the senior attorney in my department, overseeing 2 others. Plan to burrow into this and then try to jump into a more business role in the future if I want to make more.

2) You at a bar before 5PM on a weekday

Obviously not asking for any outing info, redact and frame pics as you see fit. But there needs to be a visible "sup xo!" note or something else to prove it's you.

Very unlikely given my type of employer. No one has been laid off in my entire division since it was created in 2007.

185 base. 15% bonus. 3% raise every year forever. I’m a former biglaw person who impressed a client and jumped when they posted a job. I don’t think my comp is unusual. Im a class of 2006 so far behind friends making partner at firms. But the lifestyle is amazing.

Yes. Should have clarified. 9% match (it’s complicated but that’s what it works out to).

Those still in biglaw, in that ballpark. I don’t ask. Most of my classmates (t14) either left the law altogether, lateraled down to smaller firms, or went in-house. In my circle of friends, I can only think of one or two still in biglaw. One is a "partner" at Kirkland. Another at Cahill.
