[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised by the in house salaries people are quoting. My husband was in house ant a very large company and earning about $300k plus some bonuses and he actually interviewed for a couple equivalent positions and they generally offered the same or less.

The salaries quoted were all in with bonuses.  My base is $225k but I’m at around $350k all in with bonus and RSU.  I recently spoke to a recruiter who said the market rate for my position was about $100k higher all end, so these salaries don’t surprise me.[/quote]

So in-house atty rates are roughly $450K? That is higher than I thought. [/quote]

Depends.  Not for general corporate counsel, but for more senior in house counsel at the AGC or Deputy GC level when that entail management.[/quote]

Yeah I was one of the prior poster.  My salary is a combination of “rank” (not GC but high), working for a giant corporation and then salary is really just a shade over $300k, it’s the bonus and equity that push it to compelling.

Lots of in-house positions pay more like $250 - 350 all in so that’s more realistic to expect out the gate for someone with experience (say 7-10 years) but no compelling hook.

Lots of layoffs in downturn btw so not for faint of heart.  Keep saving hard so if you get the boot you have something to show for it.  [/quote]
