is it really that hard for big law V100, or regional NLJ250 3-5 year corporate associates to go in-house? |
Date: October 24th, 2014 11:17 AM Author: Naked Submissive Party Of The First Part Newt Any in-house? Pretty hard.
The in-house promised land, hard.
Oh, and if you're a litigator, damn near impossible. |

Date: October 25th, 2014 10:20 PM Author: lemon hairraiser bawdyhouse Now it will take a bit less time. There are more positions opening up now. Talking to a recruiter I am working with and based on anecdotal evidence, I think 6-12 months seems to be what it is taking people to get a good inhouse job. I am waiting for something that pays a bit better, so it may take me closer to a year, or perhaps more. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2708184&forum_id=2#26586724) |

Date: October 24th, 2014 11:49 AM Author: confused blue trailer park Once one or two of our group of LS friends did it, then the floodgates opened. I think it helped to hear what others who were successful had done, and there was some direct and indirect networking benefit as well. But the single best thing you can do is to try to develop networking contacts who will submit and vouch for you at the company where you want to work.

Date: October 25th, 2014 7:29 PM Author: mustard passionate rigpig Probably the singular best bet for getting an in-house job from biglaw these days, assuming you have substantive experience and have a technical background.
However, the question is what kind of job you're hoping for. Getting a really awesome job with a great company where you have great pay and real responsibility is still a massive challenge. |

Date: October 25th, 2014 10:21 PM Author: lemon hairraiser bawdyhouse Indeed. And technical background meaning your practice area? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2708184&forum_id=2#26586736) |
|
Date: October 25th, 2014 10:32 PM Author: mustard passionate rigpig I mean something like tech transactions as the practice area with CS or EE or advanced chem/bio all work well. It isn't absolutely necessary for tech trans work but it is a huge plus. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2708184&forum_id=2#26586838) |

Date: October 25th, 2014 12:09 AM Author: lemon hairraiser bawdyhouse Transactional or regulatory. 3 years is a bit on the low side. I think 5 years is going to offer more opportunities. Echo the sentiment mentioned above that there is a 1 year lead time. Seems to be the case with everyone I know who went inhouse this year.
