Today I learned the former GC of the startup I’ve been at for the past 4 months agreed to come back and as a result my role is being eliminated. They said that I do great work, am well-liked, and that this isn’t performance-related, but that they’ve been trying to get him back for years and don’t need two people doing one job. What now? I just left biglaw in January, will they see me as too much of a flight risk? Do I apply to LinkedIn in-house positions? Panicking pretty bad right now.

Currently at a stable Fortune 500 company , 4 years of in-house experience. Comp is $200K base, 20% bonus, and $25K in stock annually, all in a MCOL city. The quality of life is great, but my wife 2 kids and I have no real support system nearby. I now have an opportunity to move home to a HCOL city for a role at less stable company offering $180K base, 15% bonus, and $10K in annual stock. The draw is being close to family, especially our aging parents, who are all between 72–80. Thoughts?

Are in house lawyers who aren't doing M&A, capital markets, joint ventures, and strategic investments basically playing pretend house?

Comp check: 3–5 YOE considering first in-house move at growth-stage tech company. Offer is $175k base, no bonus, 4% 401k match, solid healthcare/perks, small equity grant vesting over 4 years, fully remote, and appears to be a lean legal team with broad responsibility.

comp check 337k base , 25% bonus, some espp with 15% discount and i can sell immediately after vest. and 6 YOE. Experience is all in house, role is for a senior tech transactions and AI role in a financial institution. VHCOL hybrid, but already have the house paid so no mortgage.
