I interviewed for an in-house position for a casualty insurance company as a “insurance attorney.” I’ve been working at a small firm with just two attorneys (myself and managing partner). I’m overwhelmed in work.
In the interview they asked my salary requirements, I said 80-85? Did I tell them to low of a number? Was it appropriate to ask numbers. Has anyone else made the small firm to in house jump, and how is it?

Re: Salary Requirements
It’s impossible to answer your question based on the information provided. Unless you know a lot more about the job, the industry that it’s in, and what its competitors are paying for counsel, you probably made a mistake by tossing out a number first. If the job actually would pay 75k, they’ll tell you that now. If it actually would pay 95k - or 120k or whatever - they will happily offer you 85k now at the top of your range.
