[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Inhouse in DC area is incredibly competitive because we have so few large companies HQ'd here. The pay sucks compared to firms and even the financial regulators. And it is far more prone to layoffs than even firms. 120-130 is typical inhouse salary in DC area for people 5-7 yrs out of law school. [/quote]

True, and even harder  for litigators because only fairly large companies have much need for in-house litigation people.  Flip side is litigators might have better options in gov than someone who did m&a or other transactional work.[/quote]

seems low to me but maybe market has changed. when I made the switch 10 years ago, in house was offering around 140K base plus another $50-60 bonus.[/quote]

In-house pay varies tremendously and is not lockstep like biglaw associate pay. Inhouse pay often has some link to what company pays nonlegal employees. I make 250k plus bonus inhouse at a company that generally pays well. I am a mediocre lawyer and do not work terribly hard. My friend from law school was a federal appellate clerk, works her butt off, and recently took an inhouse job for 150k. [/quote]
