[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In-house jobs.  You will be dealing employment law, etc., but it is closer to a job/job than being a lawyer at a firm as you would work normal business hours and such.[/quote]

Posted by someone who doesn't work in house. My in house job certainly isn't like that. No way could I stick to working 40 hours only and get the work done.[/quote]

My in-house job isn't anything like that either.[/quote]

In-house can definitely go either way. There are some in-house jobs where you sit in meetings all day, do the same work daily, delegate the more complicated work to outside counsel and leave at 5 pm. But more and more, I'm seeing in-house attorneys whose positions are actually part of or akin to upper mgmt. That means longer hours, being attached to a blackberry and often a decent amount of travel, though it tends to also mean good money. I think some companies are realizing that they can hire attys to do a lot more contract drafting and brief writing in-house, rather than paying biglaw rates of $500-1000/hr for the same work.[/quote]
