<p>Sally, that was an interesting list. As the spouse of a general counsel who left ‘biglaw’ as a senior partner to take the position, I’d have to disagree with two points, though. The hefty paycut is not always the case, in fact, in my H’s case, his compensation package exceeds what he was earning and, ten years after making the move, he’s still in a favorable position to what his previous partners are earning. The second point is the more predictable hours. This has not been the case. As a General Counsel and a member of the senior executive team of a large corporation, your time and availability are very much tied to what is going on at work. These differences may not be issues in every G.C. position but this has been my H’s experience with a large corporation.</p>
