I’m a week into my new in-house job and I fear I’ve made a huge mistake. It looks like I’ll still be working a ton, but for like half the money. Of course, the hours won’t be as bad as BigLaw, but it’s certainly no 9-5.
Is it too soon to start applying to go back to firms, or should I stick it out for like a year and then apply so I don’t look so flighty? Going back to my most recent firm is not an option.
