curious too. most of my bank’s in house counsel came from corp law so imagine traded in a lot of money for work/life balance
Know a couple people making c. 250k 5 years out of law school and another making c. 200k a year out of law school.
good to know. thanks for the info
from what I’ve heard, the pay is significantly lower than attorneys at big Wall Street law firms like Skadden or Sullivan & Cromwell where 1st year associates make $200,000+. The main reason why lawyers go work for a bank is because the hours are better.
got it, thanks for the info
“The main reason lawyers go work for a bank is because the hours are better”. Never thought I’d ever hear that lmao
