Hi There, I am a finance and analytics professional with ~7 years of experience in domains like FP&A, OTC, Process transformation and Healthcare analytics. I have hands on experience on Google tools like spreadsheets, Google data studio and other internal tools. Have also worked on multiple Google projects with the PPG team in Google US.
It would be super helpful if somebody from Google can refer me. Please comment below if somebody can and I'll add them over LinkedIn and share the details.

This. Also you should be careful not to let the business team bulldoze you because of your inexperience. You’re the risk mitigator. At your stage, you should get clear direction from your GC/AGCs on when they want you “hitting pause” on a deal and looping them in, and how to be good at CYA emails. You don’t want to become a rubber stamp.

If your goal is to be in-house for long-term, then go for it. If your goal is to work in the law firms, then this won’t help you much.
Point is, do what is best for you. Do you need more years of law firm experience to be great in-house? No. Will you make less than you would at a law firm? Yes. Will you be happier? Depends on what you want in your life.
Thanks @senior corporate counsel 1 - very helpful, I did go to a t14

To add to the above, I made the switch when I was a 4th year BL associate and I noticed, going thru interviews + search process, that some in-house counsels were former BL attorneys and carried that bias of only looking for former BL associates with XYZ number of years because they expect such person to have certain skills down
If the job looks good, take it.
