Pros: interesting work guiding Corp strategy.
Cons: a lot of work depending on company still better than consulting. If you want to be. CEO you need more commercial p&l roles.

For IP Litigation folks in life sciences/pharma - what are the likely exit options? The boutique patent lit firms don’t seem to have a lighter workload and it seems like most in house positions require tech transaction and patent persecution experience, which is not easy to get while in big law (since different groups). I am a junior associate and any advice is appreciated.
