I'm not sure that being a rockstar lawyer is a positive quality, especially a transactional lawyer.

Conventional wisdom says that 4-6 years out is the sweet spot for in-house opportunities, but I have noticed that many more senior associates leave my firm and go directly to an AGC position. I would love to shortcut the advancement process once I go in-house, so am I wrong to think that I should aim to stay for something more like 8 years?

If you're actually not flame, feel free to PM me.

Where's my BIG ENERGY DRINK law?

OMG Haha.. I'm just imagining the court scene from Role Models. Think op wound up in house at minitaur energy drinks because Rockstar didn't like his attitude.

You should provide us with an update of where you are, how things are going, and how you are doing.
