If you’re in your 8th-10th year and don’t make partner, are you essentially slowly laid off? Or if you’re offered counsel is it permanent? If you don’t care about the WLB that in house has to offer, and want to take counsel does it have good job security and can you do it indefinitely? I’m so confused about what happens to lawyers that don’t make partner. I don’t care about making partner and counsel sounds fine to me but I’d rather not be at risk of losing my job or taking a big pay cut to move to in house. or worse, not being able to move to in house because i was in big law too long
