[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering a similar move myself, OP, but it is certainly not for the more interesting work.  I have a surfeit of that in government.   but I need better cash flow and better hours and less travel.  and it looks like at least some companies offer that . . .[/quote]

Careful about the travel.  I had a friend go in-house from a firm (did anti-trust work), in part because of travel, and she travels more than she did before.  Certainly depends on the company.[/quote]

Duly noted!

I have a friend who (like me) was a federal litigator.  She somehow got herself hired as an attorney negotiating licensing agreements for some tech company.  She works (barely) 40 hour weeks and never has to leave the office, and yet her salary went up.  I keep trying to get her to explain her magic to me, as I know she had zero experience in contract negotiation and very little in tech.  she claims she just kept networking and sending out her resume until someone bit.  May I somehow work the same magic.[/quote]
