For another data point, 5 years out of law school, $425k total comp in house. Corporate side--PE/Hedge/VC. NYC area.

Mods, please keep my reply anonymous.

If you don't mind me asking, how are your hours? Mainly 24/7 still? I've heard rough things from some of the in house folks in that industry in my network.

Don't mind. 8-6. Respond to emails until 10pm. Rarely work weekends, but am reasonably responsive throughout.

"Smaller" investment adviser (i.e., under $5b AUM). When looking for in house opportunities, I would not entertain phone calls from recruiters soliciting the large advisers, such as BX, KKR, etc., as my understanding is that those firms' legal departments are very similar to working in biglaw.

Thank you. That's very generous of you.

Also if you don't mind, can I ask if you were in M&A or Funds in biglaw? How many lawyers are you in your department? Were you at a v10? Was this job through a recruiter or a client or networking?

Wish I could reply here, but I didn't realize I came of anon, and if I divulge too much, will narrow down who I am. Happy to answer a PM.

What would you folks say is roughly the lower end of market for a third year in a major market?

Specifically, I have hoped eventually to get to 180k+ all in, but I've known other juniors/early mids to land at 150k. And my one flirtation in-house was an entry level role for 115k, which is too low and not just in terms of absolute comp.

I have a friend who went in-house to FAANG. Mid-level, with all-in comp in the $215-240 range.
