comp check 337k base , 25% bonus, some espp with 15% discount and i can sell immediately after vest. and 6 YOE. Experience is all in house, role is for a senior tech transactions and AI role in a financial institution. VHCOL hybrid, but already have the house paid so no mortgage.

Are in house lawyers who aren't doing M&A, capital markets, joint ventures, and strategic investments basically playing pretend house?

What's a reasonable base & bonus % for 12 year litigator going in-house to Fortune 500 company in HCOL/non-tech. Role will manage all litigation and report to GC. No salary range in job post, and I have screener interview.

I have been looking at in house roles and some places seem to have aweful salaries (like sub 200k or even 100k) but require an insane level of specialization. Do people take these roles?

Folks, do you feel like you and your work are valued and respected in your in-house job? I know legal is never really truly respected, or atleast as much as core business or even some others, but I don't think I've ever felt this strongly like my work is not respected, valued or even wanted. Wondering it this is common and how to process.
