325k is very good for inhouse and if it's in a location you like, I'd strongly consider it.

you will be miserable watching the higher-ups and actual equity bros making millions and billions while you SLAVE over loan docs for the kind of money they throw at their worthless kids to travel and take MY MASTERS classes.

As a former biglaw real estate associate and current midlaw partner, I'd say that it sounds pretty good. Once you get in there, try to transition to more of a business role. That's what I wish I could do.

Also depends on how much outside counsel the company uses. If you still have to draft transaction docs and can't just oversee outside counsel, it isn't nearly as exciting. I've seen it both ways. And hopefully you aren't handling mundane shit, which is often what they give in-house counsel.

I’ve made between $600-800k since I’ve been a partner. Will probably be in that window for awhile, maybe forever, unless something great or terrible happens

I mean, it is pretty exciting in some ways, as there are lots of firedrills, but transactional work is transactional work, no matter how anyone tries to dress it up.

Let's see, yesterday, I had a long call with the client to discuss strategy about a new EB-5 financing that we have to get done next week because congress is threatening to pass legislation next week making EB-5 financing much worse. Then spent a few hours after that commenting on a loan agreement and pledge agreement for that deal. Have to basically finalize comments with the client by end of the weekend. Would normally have an associate do a markup that I'd review, but there isn't time, so I'm just doing it myself.

Then I met with an associate who is doing a first draft of a new JV agreement for an enormous syndication one of our clients is doing with their largest capital partner That was about a half hour.

Then I worked on finalizing associate reviews (I'm the head of the group so I have to finalize them with our firm admin). That was about a half hour.

Then had a call with a client to try and figure out how to describe an environmental issue to a lender so they don't freak out and still make the loan to us so they can buy a new portfolio.

Then discussed strategy with the same client on how to go back to the other side on terms on a complex JV agreement for a new different portfolio they are negotiating.

Then went to a client party who was opening a new office.

Then came back to the office and worked more on the EB-5 loan comments so I wouldn't have to work on them today....which didn't work, because I spent about 3-4 hours working on them today.

Probably 10 other things that were small that take too long to describe, but ate up another 2-3 hours.

it's basically one of the two highest in-house positions associated with one of their non-HQ (PA) and non-NYC operations.

so it's in/near a fairly major metro area, but not MFH
