[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 IC in a senior legal role at a big tech company.

I make over 500K and cannot believe the work life balance I have. I came from biglaw and then stressful smaller companies and wanted to move to a bigger company for the buy-side experience, not the WLB, but it has been an extra perk. My team is full of well credentialed, high performer type parents taking advantage of this situation.

I often see people from our team going out to become VP or GCs at smaller companies once their kids hit high school or college. [/quote]

Please share the name of this company![/quote]

It is a large biotech/pharma (headquartered in Europe). My friends who are in senior legal IC roles at FAANG (specifically Meta, Google, MSFT) or PE/hedge funds have similar experiences and sometimes better comp depending when they joined with equity grants. Look for teams where almost everyone has biglaw backgrounds because that is a sign the comp is competitive.

My colleagues are smart and kind but the flip side is the organization as a whole is large and cumbersome for getting things done (for example: I have spent more hours in various meetings to align on a group doc review project than it would have taken me to just do the entire doc review myself). For an ambitious / impact-oriented person this can feel frustrating / like stagnation but I can't deny the WLB is good and maybe the season of life I currently need. [/quote]
