I've seen in house ads for 250k w pros background with that much experience. 250 doesn't include bonus and stocks btw. Are your stock grants that much?

I make basically as much as the founders salary wise. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2696271&forum_id=2#26492365) |

Date: October 10th, 2014 12:20 PM Author: Obsidian Thriller Church Building So, I think that it was a mistake to conflate novelty/obviousness with subject matter eligibility the way the court did, but I think they were trying to give lower courts a tool to knock out clearly BS software and business methods patents. But I think the pendulum will swing back if/when the courts start invalidating legit software patents (say complicated compression or image processing stuff).

I don't really watch much college ball, so I don't know too much about Smart. But I tend to prefer bigger point guards. I know he is listed at 6'4 or whatever, but he doesn't look it on the court. |

How do I get to where you are now. Probably decision is a) IP transactions at BIGLAW b) lit at BIGLAW c) broader range at a smaller firm. Right?
In general, I'm not really interested in pros/lit. Much rather do transactional, business side, or at least do a broader range of stuff.

Date: October 22nd, 2014 1:50 PM Author: razzle-dazzle shimmering digit ratio other option is to kick around a few more years (probs like 2+ years post no-breakfasting before shitcan) So that gives me something like 3 - 3.5 more years at a salary in the high 2s.
Still worth interviewing now or wait for no-breakfast and shitcan? |

Date: October 21st, 2014 11:12 PM Author: Obsidian Thriller Church Building Yes, one of those, they work super long hours and travel a ton. Comp is like senior biglaw associate level, when you take into account the full package. The main bonus is you are around more creative/interesting people than in a firm.

|
Date: October 21st, 2014 11:14 PM Author: Obsidian Thriller Church Building They constantly overbill, then I complain because I actually review the bill and know their tricks, and then they cut it. Circle of life.
Also, I wrote up very detailed outside counsel guidelines that I based on one of my former clients outside counsel rules.
I negotiated flat fee for certain stiff like IDS filings. |

Date: October 21st, 2014 11:20 PM Author: Obsidian Thriller Church Building I think 3rd year is pretty early unless you are leaving for a big company where you will receive further training.
