[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it depends on the company and how flat the legal department is, but you have to remember that while 7 years of experience is well into partner track for an attorney, it is still pretty junior in the corporate world, generally, and somewhat in the corporate legal world.

OP here.  I know this is true, and I'm sure there will be raises down the line.  I'm looking forward to getting off of the partner track rat race, anyway.  We've just started more serious discussions at my office about business development.  Made me want to run for the hills!

I'd also love to hear thoughts on typical hours for in-house positions.  I'm looking at 8-5, with some expectation that I bring work home from time to time.  Typical?[/quote]

Typical hours in the companies I've worked for are 9-6pm, with work taken home and early meetings from your house.   I don't know any attorney that leaves at 5 or 6 on the dot. In-house lawyers still have a heavy workload and long hours, travel, --minus the pressure to bill/count time. [/quote]

I was really hoping to stop bringing work home, which is why I'm considering taking the $80k+ pay cut.  Most of my friend in-house don't seem to bring work home, but they may be glossing over it or just aren't typical.  Thanks.[/quote]
