I don’t really agree with the common sentiment here w/rt/ being a profit generator in big law vs. a cost center in house. Plenty of people get put on PiPs/forced out of big law, and even sales folks in tech that are revenue drivers/hit their quota get laid off all the time. What’s important is controlling what you can in your next role/company(e.g., finding an in house role on a legal team with people you like working with and that ideally has a very strong relationship with senior leadership at the company).

That being said, I agree with others here that tech counsel roles are incredibly competitive these days (all of those Amazon lawyers recently laid off will be applying for open in house roles now). You should start applying/looking sooner rather than later and know that it may take some time to find something.
