5-6th year in biglaw in NYC looking at in-house opportunities. Which companies/industries would pay the most, other than FAANG? Flexible on location. I heard REITs pay quite well in NYC for example. Broad capmkts practice, but more focus on disclosure/governance matters.

How are you five years in and only asking this now? You didn’t go into big law having some idea of what you’d do medium term?

I'm a 2L and I'm curious about that. Interested in average/median comp too.
