In-house Patent Counsel for one of the Big 4 tech companies (Apple, Google, Facebook, MSFT)

LOL

To be fair it's not a bad gig. Mostly 9-5 job, six figures, tech company perks. A good law job if you don't want work to be your life.

Uhh.....no. Not sure about MSFT, but in-house patent litigators at the other three definitely work more than that. Some work big law hours (or worse).

Ah, my experience has mainly been on the pros side. I can see how lit would be different.

Got it. I don't know anything about Pros—but it makes sense that it would be more chill.

Yeah, I was talking prosecution, not litigation... I would definitely agree with you that Lit would be a nightmare.
