The great thing about in house is that you get decent cash ($150k-300k) for 9-5, Monday through Friday work. |

Know someone who does employment law at a place like that.
What's he making you figure? |

for a typical lawyer, 200

|
Date: March 18th, 2017 3:53 PM Author: canary galvanic scourge upon the earth Yeah pretty sure he's not the GC. (that's the top lawyer within the company, right?)
He works at a company that I think is pretty well known. |

Date: March 18th, 2017 3:55 PM Author: canary galvanic scourge upon the earth Ok sorry I don't know if it's 2B or not.
I had heard it was a "billion dollar company."
It's a fashion company. |

Date: March 18th, 2017 3:56 PM Author: Marvelous school yeah, hes prob making 150-250 depending on seniority and how the co is doing etc. would guess closer to 150 (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3557030&forum_id=2#32860283) |
|
Date: March 18th, 2017 3:57 PM Author: canary galvanic scourge upon the earth Ok, thanks.
Are you a GC?
I do know he doesn't just work 9-5. Have gotten drinks with him where he would respond to emails at like 8 or 9. "sorry trying to put out this fire." |

|
Date: March 18th, 2017 3:12 PM Author: Thriller pearly station it's just a title. some regional bank VPs run the show, same with their counsel. obviously there are usually eight billion levels of VP titling so it's meaningless in a vacuum and just another way of parsing middle-management. the larger the entity the more likely that VP is meaningless unless it has a really flat management structure.

VPs at megacorps (google, exxon etc) are prestigious |
|
Date: March 18th, 2017 3:58 PM Author: Marvelous school 1. easiest - work in finance (not compliance) or tech megacorp (goog, amzn, fb, nflx, etc.) and be middle management or higher
2. grind - be very senior at a good sized co thats doing well, or be the GC at a good co
4. random - get lucky with stock options/acquisitions |

|
Date: March 18th, 2017 4:01 PM Author: Marvelous school this means nothing, depends on what company, what level, etc.
probably 1-150 if 2nd tier city and not the top guy and in compliance |

a) bought when RE cost a fraction of what it does now; b) inherited the property or a bunch of cash; c) got a bunch of family help;
or a combo of the above. LOL @ thinking that because someone owns a place that they bought recently with money they actually earned. Also, a bunch of people overextend themselves on real estate. |

|
Date: March 19th, 2017 3:34 PM Author: Idiotic parlour generalized bond Uh, no. First, the $400k is pre-tax so IRL, it becomes more like 25%. Second, the jobs are probably not particularly stable so they would lose that house pretty quickly if they hit a rough patch.

Date: March 19th, 2017 3:39 PM Author: Idiotic parlour generalized bond I'd rather smell the fresh Yonkers air than have to deal with a foreclosure because I overextended myself and didn't leave cheaply despite making $400k.

Date: March 19th, 2017 3:44 PM Author: Concupiscible orchid round eye locus You're like a nonsensical woman ranting about why the hell anyone would ever do anything differently in life than she does. You can easily afford that mortgage with $400K coming in. Particularly if you're going to realize any significant gain on a sale.
Now that you're close to making a big boy salary again, don't start wearing your middle-class insecurity like some flaming badge. It's OK for people to use their money differently than what you think is optimal. For instance, spending on retarded, useless 'luxury' SUVs because your Soviet mongrel brain associates them with an upper class posture. Many people think that's not an ultra wise move and your reaction is shrug it off and proffer a hilarious argument about how a 5'6" NYC-based dorky as fuck IT lawyer needs to the ability to go "offroading." |
