<p>I am a lawyer and I am quite happy with my life. I have worked in-house (General Counsel, Asst. General Counsel etc) for my entire career. I don’t make a huge salary compared to private practice, but I love being involved in the business decisions of the corporation and working day to day with wonderful people. I guess it feels like having a lot of skin in the game. Hours are not as long as private practice hours typically can be, but we sure put in our time! I also like the interaction I have with lawyers in private practice who represent us in various pieces of litigation/transactions.</p>
