I am a CRE attorney, with 5-6 years under my belt. My long term goal is most likely to go in house rather than do the partner thing. I have a potential opportunity to make a move in house, but the position would be more of a property management contracts and M&A of property management companies role, rather than a development focus. The company does have a development legal team as well. Is it worth it to make the move to get my foot in the door and try to shift internally later?

It’s very competitive to get an in-house role now, if you have the opportunity, just join it. You can try internal move or move to another company after a few years. Once you have your first in house job, it will be much easier to land your 2nd

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar.

I am in the final steps of the interview process for an in-house position. I mentioned to the recruiter that I had unvested equity I would be leaving on the table.
