A lot of companies say they're collecting that data for purposes of assessing the diversity generally, and it will be kept anonymous and not impact your application. Is that fraudlies?

You're not going to get hired just because of that box. When I think of people that "check the box" at my company they still have a bunch of very direct experience AND have a box they checked. XO is very into one weird trick to getting into schools/jobs/etc. Here, it rarely works like that. I remember when I got in-house XO was assuring me that I was totally fucked and should probably leave law altogether.

That's the problem - a lot of this experience isn't what in-house really cares about. They want tech trans, privacy, etc. Banks have their own set of specific regulations so if you really know those then you might have more luck there. That's not my area but Are Reptile might be able to talk about that if he's around.

No one cares about your T10 w/A- average. I don't even know what law school my boss graduated from. I know people out of HYS and people out of no-name law schools. One of our legal execs came to talk about her path up and she literally started as a doc review temp. In-house is overwhelmingly NOT like prestigious law firms. Yeah, I'm out of a T14 but that's not what got me here. They cared more about my CS degree than about what law school I went to.

LOL no this is not the job market equivalent of yield protection.

There is still just an insatiable demand for cushy in house jobs. The number of resumes we see is insane and while this guy’s stats would put him near the top of a pile he won’t be the best let alone standing out head and shoulders above such that he should be getting offers left and right.

This could change somewhat as layoffs gain steam and people realize how vulnerable lawyers who are cost centers can be, but of course when that happens hiring will also fall off a cliff so probably no way supply catches up to the extreme demand.

I'm going to offer something else, not that racial/gender discrimination isn't a real thing against white men. But in general you're going to need a background in something with real demand in-house. It can't be "I did M&A (or God forbid litigation) for 5 years and now want to be in-house."

I got a job in-house just by applying online in 2013. No, I didn't know anyone. I have no charisma to speak of. I do have a strong tech background and skills in areas that they cared about, so they hired me.

The last person I hired was a white Christian guy. Granted, already in-house. The thing is that breaking into in-house is really hard because there's a strong preference to hire people already in-house with direct experience related to the role. Getting hired from a law firm is a heavy lift unless you happen to be getting hired for some specialty role and had a bunch of experience in exactly that group ("this is an IP licensing role and I did IP licensing at the firm").

I work for a white guy, worked for another white guy before. My wife who is also in-house also works for a white guy. Yes, a lot of women work in-house though part of that is that women are after in-house from day 1. The best time to go in-house is as soon as you get your first in-house offer and many women are going into areas at law firms specifically to get set up to go in-house. A lot of men want to be partners at law firms and then when that doesn't work out then they want to go in-house. The problem is that by then your background isn't as good of a fit and unlike the women they often haven't been setting themselves up for that jump.

I wouldn't go that far. Next level up is an Asian female. But the excuse of "well, I'm a white guy so I can't possibly get an in-house job" isn't reasonable. Yes, it is harder, yes there's discrimination, but obviously plenty of normal white guys manage anyway.

if you’re in some specialized biglaw niche, you can either apply to a thousand jobs like ggtp or you can take that shit “corporate counsel” bottom of the totem pole contract churning role that you probably fancy yourself too good for (if you’re of above average intelligence with the drive to survive biglaw, that’s probably fair). we have ip shittigators and M&A refugees doing the latter.

if you want some plum position, you’re going to need either connection/very useful experience or a lot of things to go your way (probably includes the diverse/female candidates, and there will be several, practically radiating their inability to do the job or being unwilling to take the pay cut).

Your first job is almost certainly going to be at the bottom with a title like "corporate counsel" or "associate counsel" to get your foot in the door. Then you work your way up or get the next level up job in a few years. This is the problem with a lot of guys gunning for in-house. They won't accept this. Many females absolutely will. My very first job was at the very bottom of the totem pole and I remember I made like $113k + bonus. Got a bunch of promotions up and now I'm happy. My wife did exactly the same thing - started at the bottom and promoted up. Then you get people making $300k+ in biglaw and unhappy that they are being considered for that entry level position for a huge pay cut.

We don't even hire into good titles unless it is someone that is like a partner at a major firm and those "good titles" are still huge downgrades for them.

Different places are different, of course, because there's no consistency in-house but anyone holding out for that is going to have a tougher battle. I know if I was shooting for that I wouldn't have made it.

this is true. companies are truly retarded with hiring. you can keep beating your head against the wall for years and get nowhere, but then luck into the right opportunity.

on titles, in my experience, companies approach on this varies widely. some jealously guard senior titles, others dont seem to give a shit

It becomes less retarded when you realize that they're flooded with applications at any given time.

I agree that in-house there's zero consistency. A lot of SV tech cos massively deflate titles so you'll get a generic "sr counsel" role getting $400k+ while elsewhere a VP will be getting $300k or whatever.

same path here, ground floor to something with an effort/reward ratio sufficient to dissuade me from moving on. got the talk early in biglaw, which may be an advantage since lifestyle creep hadnt set in and low level entry point was less of an issue both financially and from an ego perspective.

ive seen people walk directly into midlevelish roles, but they’re usually specialists and the roles often seem like a pain in the ass compared to the ones that people get promoted into, like fixing broken aspects of internal gdpr compliance vs floating up and gradually having people redirected to report to you for functions that already run themselves

Real talk, you need to network like crazy, not blind apply. I thought I had no connections either, but there’s always a friend of a friend who works at whatever company. Before you apply, ask your lawyer and non lawyer friends if they know someone who works there.

The other issue is how your resume is positioned. Gen corporate, m&a and cap markets are not marketable areas. Companies are rarely doing these trans in-house and outsource that to big lawyers (like you). They want people to do mundane day to day shit looking at consumer privacy shit and handling regulatory issues surrounding product launches etc. you need to angle yourself as having experience non-biglaw shit.

It’s life changing really. Not having to bill hours takes the anxiety to zero.

It’s not great financially for most, but you can usually make it to $300-$400k and of course there’s a bunch making $500k+ in finance/tech.

Billing hours isn't bad. I just write down the time I spend doing things.

If you are saying the nice thing is that you don't do any work most of the time, then I think that is a separate perk.

Why do people want high paying jobs with reasonable hours and job stability? I guess we'll never know.

I work around 40 hours a week and make $300k-ish in flyover country. Good job security, not much pressure, not a bad gig.

First, in-house jobs are for women. Second, my wife is rich (via her alpha husband) and she doesn't need the job and doesn't have to take shit from a boss.
