[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not asking for sympathy but I'm a big law counsel and I've tried to leave so many times to an in house role in my field and have been passed over every time. So I am stuck here making half a million (unless I want to hang a shingle which seems like way more work). Golden handcuffs that I can't even get out of even though I want to. [/quote] You're making $500,000 as counsel? Do you even have billable goals?? I thought counsel / of counsel folks were often paid by percentage of receipts, so while there's an incentive to work more to make more, the firm doesn't necessarily lose if you bill less (except overhead contribution). [/quote] That's funny. Nowadays, most counsel are glorified senior associates with black box comp, which means make the same or less than an 8th year. [/quote] Then why wouldn’t they just stay a senior associate?[/quote]
