When I first started, I stayed late bc my boss was a single female in her 60s. Spoke with others at the comp and thwy all said to just leave early. It didn't affect my promotions or pay. Hee deal was she would work late and then like disappear for like 2 weeks. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4280688&forum_id=2#38372158) |

Date: June 11th, 2019 10:54 AM Author: Stirring Hominid Fanboi Random places. She was very much into skiing and exotic locations so she'd be skiing the Alps then in the Maldives. An emergency once popped up and I called her cell and left a voicemail. Her response by email at like 130 am:
"Talk with ayahs see the tickets about it. It ahoud hold but not sure. Be back in a few days. Do what ai free tmbeat."
Not sure if she pocket-typed me but pretty much just slide and let it do. Learned then that a lot of shit inhouse can be fixed at a later date if needed or isn't that big of an issue. Although I did get reamed once by her so learned when shit needs to be taken seriously. By far, she was the best boss I ever had. |

She sounds awesome, why did you leave? |
|
Date: June 11th, 2019 11:04 AM Author: Stirring Hominid Fanboi Lol. Probably. Never thought of that, but I can see her doing that as she boards hee next flight.
She retired. Had a bad yr where her brother, mother, and dad died. I think she kinda just wanted to retire to the countryside of New England.
Second boss was chill and got me a foreign posting. I later jumped to a new gig for more money and more of what I want to do. Will prbly be here 2 or so. Don't see myself here longterm. |

Date: June 11th, 2019 10:24 AM Author: Stirring Hominid Fanboi This. The social interaction inhouse is very diff from biglaw. In biglaw it felt like cloak and dagger in that people wanted to fuck you over. Inhouse, most people just want to do their hours of work, head home, and every now and then cop a beer. On Opening Day, I took a 2 hr lunch with some of the business guys to catch the Mets game. Drank a beer and then headed back to work.

Date: June 11th, 2019 10:45 AM Author: saffron supple center psychic Yep. It's not even that they want to do their hours of work, they just get the work done. If there's a lot to do, then you have a busy day. Sometimes there's nothing really to be done and people just fuck off.

Date: June 11th, 2019 2:27 PM Author: Maroon Masturbator Mad-dog Skullcap In house politics can be extremely cutthroat, but I think it favors smarter people and is a little less fucked up overall. E.g. when you're fighting for more resources or rewards for your team, the discussion isn't X person billed Y hours it's a combo of how the team's support factors into the business' strategy (i.e. which important execs will get pissed if we drop the ball), which legal work is essentially hardest and highest risk (usually some overlap between the two but not always) and which are the smartest/best people in the department that we care the most about retaining. That last part can feed the extremely cutthroat dynamic, but the first two parts allow for way more decisions on the merits if the GC and his leadership team are not stupid or corrupt (e.g. playing favorites to reward their fuckbuddies).

Date: June 11th, 2019 8:27 PM Author: saffron supple center psychic That's basically what bigger companies are doing now. Doesn't even need to be $115k. I took about a 50% salary cut to go in-house (not counting bonus or equity, and in admittedly a low COL city, FWIW). It's insane when you think that a dumbass associate could easily bill $1mm plus on his/her own, and then there are the idiotic 6-person meetings that are thousands of dollars an hour to approve nothing, when they can just bring someone in-house, tell them to get their shit done, and otherwise leave them alone.

Date: June 11th, 2019 1:04 PM Author: misunderstood pale parlor newt it's pretty easy to get back into biglaw -- u can just show up at 1L or 2L OCI at any decent law school and interview as a "law student." i did this a few times after leaving biglaw for inhouse and even interviewed at my old biglaw firm; they had no recollection of who i was and even pitched me on the "cutting edge antitrust cases" that i would get to work on (while being unaware that i was a senior associate on some of those same cases).
sure, u have to take a big salary cut, but so what? u can actually keep ur inhouse job + salary and just add that to your overall paystub. it's not like u do anything there so u basically duck out for summer lunches and hang ur coat over ur chair while u complete summer associate "assignments" at light-speed. when u become a first-year again, make sure u use all tricks in the book, like checking out batches of obviously unresponsive docs while everyone else obliviously wades into batches requiring 300 redactions per email chain.
protip: before u join ur biglaw firm as a first-year associate, make sure u collect ur clerkship bonus AGAIN. many rookies make the mistake of only collecting it once and yeah it's not that much but after u repeat this cycle a few times it really adds up.

Date: June 11th, 2019 4:16 PM Author: misunderstood pale parlor newt 3rd dan to be exact -- each stripe represents the number of times i've become a junior associate again.
the best part is while everyone else is saying "yes sir please give me another MSJ at 2 a.m." and having nightmares about getting "the talk", u welcome "the talk" bc it's a prelude to 3-6 months of vacation where u get to do nothing (again) and decide which biglaw firm u want to join next.
u try to look concerned and nod along when u get called into partner offices about "inconsistent work product" and "the need for more attention to detail" and not answering 11:15 p.m. emails, but ur thoughts wander since the worst case scenario is continuing to collect 200K from ur inhouse job and collecting a clerkship bonus for the 4th time in 5 years. |
